Iran’s vice president: Political solution sole way to crisis in Syria

Iran’s first Vice-President Isaac Jahangiri stressed that the political solution based on an inter-Syrian dialogue is the only way for solving the crisis in Syria.
Jahangiri said, during the tenth meeting of the Information Ministers of Islamic countries, which began in Tehran today under the title of “International convergence for peace and stability in the Islamic world” .. the process of developments in the region indicates that no military solution is possible for this crisis, which was stressed by Iran since the beginning.
“The Middle east is suffering from the crimes of the Israeli entity against the Palestinians, as this region is still facing terrorism surges, particularly in Syria and Iraq, and that has deepened the suffering of the Moslems in the world,” he added.
