Shiite powerhouse Iran is a leading patron of Syrian President Bashar Assad and accuses Sunni rival Saudi Arabia and the US of siding with anti-Assad rebels and militants.
Hassan Rouhani’s remarks came during a press conference on Tuesday with visiting Austrian counterpart Heinz Fischer.
Rouhani says “Iran will sit at any table with regional countries and world powers if the outcome will be a safer, stable and democratic future for Syria.”
He says this is part of his nation’s commitment to “international, Islamic and humane” norms.
