Iran’s Foreign Ministry: we don't discuss Russia’s use of Hamadan base

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Jaberi Ansari said that the subject of Russia’s brief use of the Hamadan airbase in western Iran for its airstrikes in Syria last month was not broached during the consultations with the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"Iran since the beginning of the Syrian crisis believed that it has no military solution. It should be ended by means of political dialogue," Sputnik cited Ansari as saying.

Addressing the latest Russian-US ceasefire agreement in Syria, Ansari placed the responsibility for its practical implementation on both Moscow and Washington, but voiced particular hope that the US would remain committed to the agreement.

"Unfortunately, our previous experience related to the US suggests that the extensive use of terrorism to realize its political goals has of course been included on the US agenda. Turkey’s military actions in Syria should be coordinated with the Syrian government and be conducted with international standards," Ansari said.
