U.S.: "Iran's Activities in Syria Have Only Contributed to the Violence"
(U.S. State Department) State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert said Thursday, "We continue to have concerns about the Astana agreement, including the involvement of Iran as a so-called "guarantor." Iran's activities in Syria have only contributed to the violence, not stopped it, and Iran's unquestioning support for the Assad regime has perpetuated the misery of ordinary Syrians. In light of the failures of past agreements, we have reason to be cautious."
