TEHRAN, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry on Thursday urged an immediate halt of clashes in Syria, Press TV reported.
Iran anticipates an "immediate and lasting humanitarian ceasefire" in Syria to be observed by the sides involved, the Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
Talks between Zarif and Lavrov over the catastrophic condition in Syria was the second over the past 48 hours, coming in the wake of a fresh international push to end the conflict.
Zarif earlier held phone talks with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, stressing Iran's "principled position on the all-out fight against terrorism and terrorist groups" and finding "an inclusive political solution" to the Syrian conflict, the report said.
