Tehran is monitoring the developments on the field at Syria’s Idlib and the regional consequences of the conflicts closely and with sensitivity, and stresses the need to manage and calm the current tense situation immediately.       Considering the previous decision made by the heads of the Astana Process to hold the meeting in Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it will continue the efforts to convene the meeting at the current delicate situation, and believes that the meeting could be an effective step in the continuation of the previous agreements of the Process on the fight against terrorism, on the avoidance of any damage to civilians, and on the political settlement of the differences. The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the measures taken by the third parties to impair the (Astana) Process, particularly by the United States of America that has always sought to create tensions in the region in an irresponsible manner and has also announced that it is present in Syria for the purpose of plundering that country’s oil resources. The Islamic Republic of Iran stays in close contact with its partners in the Astana Peace Process and will keep up efforts to end the current strained situation.
