After Putin says foreign troops should depart when war ends, and Kremlin clarifies that includes Iran and Hezbollah, Islamic Republic says ’no one can force Iran to do anything’
In a rare show of public disagreement, Iran on Monday (May 21) appeared to reject remarks from Russia’s leader saying the Islamic Republic should pull its militias out of Syria after a political settlement is reached in the war-torn country.
“No one can force Iran to do anything,” Iranian regime’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bahram Qasemi said, according to the Tasnim news website.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said following a meeting with Bashar Assad that the next step after a political settlement in Syria should be foreign countries and groups pulling their troops out of Syria.
