UN-Arab
League envoy Kofi Annan met with senior Iranian officials today in Tehran in an
attempt to solicit their support for his Syria peace plan.
Salehi has consistently opposed foreign intervention in the crisis, arguing that it is for the Syrian people to chart their future during the scheduled presidential election in 2014.
“We should not worsen the crisis,” said Salehi. “God forbid, one wrong measure, one wrong decision can have catastrophic consequences for the region and the whole world.” (IRNA, 10 July)

"My presence here proves that I believe Iran can play a positive
role and should therefore be a part of the solution in the Syrian crisis,"
Annan said at a news conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi.
