Iran broke the international unity over Syria on Saturday by restating its support for Bashar al-Assad’s regime and declaring that any rebels deemed “terrorists” should be excluded from peace talks.
The 15 members of the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved Resolution 2254 on Friday, setting out a plan for “political transition” in Syria.
