In comments at a presser on Monday, Esmaeil Baqaei reiterated the stances declared by the Iranian foreign minister about Tehran’s support for any Syrian government being supported by the Syrian people.

“We are closely monitoring the developments (in Syria) and hope that the transition period will result in the formation of an inclusive government representing all walks of Syria,” he said.

He noted that Iran would take every opportunity to express its views through the countries with which it has good relations.

Asked about the reports of Iraq and Qatar’s mediation between Iran and Syria, Baqaei said the establishment of ties needs a series of prerequisites. “We will decide after monitoring the developments.”

The efforts by the friends of Iran at mediation are not anything unconventional, the spokesman stated, adding that Tehran will employ everything to make well-advised decisions.
