Every solution about Syria should take into consideration the consensus of the Syrian people and officials, he added.
Under the nuclear agreement, Iran will modify the uranium enrichment cascades in Fordow, a once-secret facility built inside of a mountain on an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps base, in order to instead enrich non-fissile materials.

The news agency Interfax cited a Kremlin spokesperson on Monday as saying that Putin and Iran’s Khamenei agreed political decisions should not be imposed on Syria from outside.
Khemenei – who held a two-hour meeting with Russia’s President Vladimir here – welcomed further expansion of “bilateral, regional and international” cooperation between Tehran and Moscow.
Since the deal’s announcement, however, Russian Federation has wasted no time in re-energizing relations, declaring immediately that it would unfreeze a contract to supply Iran with advanced anti-aircraft missiles, which the United States fears could prevent a military strike against Iran’s nuclear sites. “It is important to breathe a new life into Syria’s political institutions and to create civilian bodies of power”. Where the nations do not see eye-to-eye, though, is the issue of whether the controversial Assad should be allowed to remain in power.
But as before, the parties continued to disagree on the future of Assad as that process unfolds, and at his meeting with Putin, Khamenei slammed the US and its allies for wanting Assad to go.
