The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has a responsibility to restore market stability and Iran will support efforts to bring about fair prices, Rouhani said at the meeting, which was also attended by Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh. But we also develop cooperation with Russian Federation, especially on the region of Aleppo. The situation was further exacerbated online, when US spy unit Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), tweeted “Classy as always China” with a link to a New York Times article on the airport incident.

State Department officials have refused to elaborate on what the sticking points are preventing a deal.
The conversation came hours after US and Russian negotiators acknowledged that a recent round of intense talk had come up short.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on September 4 that government forces and Syrian rebels have completely expelled IS extremists from the Syrian-Turkish border.
The deal depends on the two sides agreeing to closer military coordination against extremist groups operating in Syria, something the Russians have long sought and the USA resisted.
“This is the first opportunity that I’ve had to meet face to face with President Erdogan since the bad attempted coup”, Obama said, facing the Turkish leader across a long table.
Politically embarrassing emails from the breach were leaked ahead of the convention of the party, with many security experts holding that the hack had the backing of Russian intelligence services. Putin has denied his government was involved, but cheered the release of the information.
Asked by CNN’s Michelle Kosinski about his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the President described it as “candid” and “blunt” focusing mainly on Syria and Ukraine.
Obama and Putin clarified the remaining gaps in the talks, which largely involve how the deal would be implemented, the official said.
Mr Obama said the aim was to reach “meaningful, serious, verifiable cessations of hostilities in Syria”.
Mr Putin was not in the vehicle when it was struck head-on but his favourite presidential driver was killed instantly. Any deal to end widespread suffering in Syria was likely to be met with doubt after past settlements failed – a fact Obama acknowledged on Sunday.
“More details about their discussion were expected later Monday, but United States officials said before the summit that Syria and Ukraine would likely be on the agenda of an Obama-Putin huddle”.
Russian Federation and the USA are looking to achieve a ceasefire between Al-Assad’s government and US -backed rebels that would expand access to aid for hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire.

Obama’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping also veered into delicate territory, with a lengthy White House description detailing how Obama had pressed Xi to abide by an global tribunal’s ruling against China over the South China Sea. Upon Obama’s arrival, social media exploded with speculation China had slighted Obama after there was no staircase awaiting him on the tarmac, forcing the president to deplane through a set of internal stairs he rarely uses.
