Iran Rejects Russia's Call for All Foreign Troops to Leave Syria
(Newsweek) Tom O'Connor - Iran has rejected Russia's call for all foreign troops to leave Syria. Russian President Putin met with Syrian President Assad on Friday in Sochi and said that all foreign forces should eventually leave Syria.

The presence of Iran is at the invitation of the Syrian government."
