State Department spokesman John Kirby justified Iran’s inclusion:
“We do not certainly by any means approve of the destabilising activities that they (Iran) continue to pursue in Syria. There wouldn’t be an interest in having them participate if there wasn’t a general desire by the international community for them to play a constructive role in terms of achieving a political transition.”
Meanwhile Russia is maintaining its air strikes against what it calls terrorist targets in Syria. A strategy which a critical US says is aimed at bolstering Moscow’s ally President Assad.
