Iranian Foreign Minister Holds Talks with Syrian Opposition Leader


The Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi today met with the Syrian opposition leader Moaz Alkhatib at the annual international security conference in Munich. Mr. Alkhatib, the chairman of Syrian Coalition, also separately met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The meetings were the first between the Syrian opposition leader and the top diplomats of Iran and Russia, suggesting a possible breakthrough in efforts to broker an end to Syria’s civil war. Russia and Iran have been the staunchest allies of Bashar al-Assad. (Reuters, 2 February)

After a 45-minute meeting with Foreign Minister Salehi, Alkhatib told Reuters: “We agreed we have to find a solution to end the suffering of the Syrian people.”

I don't see what's wrong with what he said. This was indeed a big victory for Iran; months ago the opposition was unwilling to even consider talking to Iran. Like it or not, Iran holds ample influence in the region, especially among the Syrian government.
