 Zarif: Russia can use its military bases 'on case by case basis'

Russia could use Iranian military bases to launch air strikes against militants in Syria on a "case by case basis", Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.

"Russia doesn't have a military base (in Iran), we have good cooperation, and on a case by case basis, when it is necessary for Russians fighting terrorism to use Iranian facilities, we will make a decision," Reutrs cited Zarif as saying.

Zarif is part of an Iranian delegation headed by President Hassan Rouhani, which arrived in Moscow on Monday.

Zarif said that regional issues, including Syria, would be discussed at a meeting in the Kremlin with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
