Right after the meeting the two ministers held a joint press conference, both sides said they hold similar views regarding the situation in Syria. Meanwhile Iran's foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi referring to the upcoming talks between Iran and the p5+1 group due in Moscow noted that the results of the negotiations would be fruitful if they're based on cooperation.
Lavrov for his part said that Moscow is to invite around 15 countries, including Iran, for an international meeting on Syria. He further noted that said the conference would call for the implementation of the plan by UN-Arab League joint envoy Kofi Annan. Kofi Annan's six-point peace plan for Syria launched in February 2012 is considered as the most serious international attempt to resolve the Syrian unrest. Lavrov's official visit to Tehran comes only days after the Presidents of Iran and Russia met on the sideline of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in China.

[07 July 2012] Geneva Meeting Clear or Cloudy Sky over Syria - English
The latest meeting in Geneva on the current situation in Syria seems to lack executive mechanism as well as true will for its implementation. The special UN-envoy Kofi Annan says the meetings have not helped his plan, while the Syrian opposition outside the country has failed to form a unified political stance.
Russia accuses the United States and its Western allies of trying to distort a previous deal reached by world powers on Syria in the Geneva meeting. On June 30, an agreement was made during the Geneva meeting on a Syrian-led transitional governing body that "could include members of the present government and the opposition and other groups, and shall be formed on the basis of mutual consent."

In Syria, the fragile cease-fire brokered by the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan was broken again: A roadside bomb struck a Syrian military truck, wounding six soldiers. But what was different was that the explosion happened just seconds after a convoy carrying the head of the U.N. observer mission passed by, which has put into speculation that perhaps the UN convoy was the target. If so, this comes just one day after US UN ambassador Susan Rice said the Kofi Annan ceasefire plan was ineffective on all fronts: Syria, its elections, its ceasefire: Subject of this edition of the Press TV News Analysis

Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization weighs in on the insurrectionary nature of the Syrian conflict and its potential to generate a larger regional conflict in the Middle East.
As the Syrian crisis enters its 16th month, the recent massacres in Houla and Hama have revived calls for foreign intervention and the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad. US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has recently hinted that the United States would soon take action outside of the Annan plan and the authority of the United Nations if the persistent violence in Syria continued unabated. While the Syrian opposition severs its commitment to uphold Kofi Annan's peace plan and openly calls for a UN- no-fly zone to replace the monitoring mission, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced a new transition plan that would remove Assad from power completely. As outside forces plan a post-Assad transition strategy, the people of Syria are fast approaching a historic crossroads, of which may lead to a broader sectarian conflict that would forever reshape the Middle East

Munajat Shabaniyyah är en intensiv och väldigt andligt bön, skriven av Imam Ali(A), som är rekommenderad att läsas främst varje dag under den heliga månaden Shabaan men även under resten av året. Detta är en bön som är en av favoriterna hos de islamiska mystikerna (Urefa) och läses genom hela året.
Ayatollah al-Udhma Behjat(RA) brukar säga: "Läs denna bön när ni än har lust". Denna bön hade även en speciellt plats i Imam Khomeini(RA) hjärta. Han har kommenterat bönen många gånger på diverse sätt som belyser hur pass stor den är. I "Light Within Me" säger han: "Enligt rapporter läste alla Imamer(A) Munajat Shabaniyyah. Jag har inte läst någon annanstans om någon annan bön eller invokation som lästes av alla Imamer(A)".
Han brukade avsluta sina föreläsningar och lektioner han höll med att citera följande sektion där bönen kanske når sitt klimax vad gäller andlig kärlek, extas och gudomlig närhet: "Min Herre, bevilja mig komplett avskildhet från allt annat än Dig och total underkastelse inför Dig. Upplys mina ögons hjärta med ljuset av att se på Dig till sådana grader att det tränger igenom ljusets slöjor och når Storhetens Källa, och låt min själ dränkas i äran av Din helighet."
Munajat Shabaniyyah is an intense and very spiritual prayer, written by Imam Ali (A), which is recommended to read all of each day during the holy month of Shabaan but also for the rest of the year. This is a prayer which is one of the favorites among the Islamic mystics (Urefa) and read through the whole year.
Ayatollah al-Udhma Behjat (RA) used to say: "Read this prayer when you feel like it yet." This prayer also had a special place of Imam Khomeini (RA) hearts. He has commented on the prayer many times in various ways to illustrate just how big it is. The "Light Within Me", he says: "According to reports, read all the Imams (A) Munajat Shabaniyyah. I have not read anywhere else on any other prayer or invocation, which was read by all the Imams (A)".
He would finish his lectures and classes he held on to quote the following section where prayer may reach its climax in terms of spiritual love, ecstasy and divine closeness: "My Lord, grant me complete detachment from everything but Thee, and total submission to You. Advise my eyes with the light of heart to see you to such an extent that it penetrates the veils of light and reaches the public's Great Source, and let my soul be drowned in honor of your

[05 June 2012] Clashes continue in Northern Lebanon - English
A day of mourning in the Northern Lebanese city of Tripoli following clashes described as the deadliest in decades. 15 people killed and tens wounded after rival pro and anti Syrian Lebanese groups faced off for the second time in less than a month.
Despite a cautious calm following two days of warfare, life was far from normal in the neighborhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab -Al-Tabaneh. Most shops remain closed and tensions remain high between the Allawite pro-Syrian and Sunni anti-Syrian neighborhoods. With each side blaming the other for instigating the violence, sectarianism has reached its peak and hence the worse is probably yet to come.

[06 June 2012] 'China supports Syria's sovereignty' - English
June Security Council President Li Baodong of China laid out a busy schedule for the month that involves meetings on Sudan -- Guinea Bissau -- Libya -- and other issues.
Syria will be a big priority -- he said -- and he was philosophical about the challenges it presents -- especially in the wake of the Houla massacre.
To answer his own question -- Li says the Council will have to rely on information from UN people on the ground in Syria -- since all sides are blaming the other for the massacre.
Though some have named Syrian forces in the attack -- others refer to eyewitness accounts of armed gangs in pickup trucks committing the murders -- more than 100 -- two Fridays ago.

[03 July 2012] Saudi Arabia invested in Syria crisis - English
UN human rights chief Navi Pillay says the flow of arms into Syria is "fueling the violence" in the Arab country, calling for an end to the militarization of the ongoing conflict.
Pillay did not specify where the arms are coming from, but UN diplomats believe that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been supplying weapons to the armed Syrian rebels.
The UN official claimed that the situation in Syria is "a non-international internal armed conflict," the legal term for a civil war, saying "there is a risk of escalation."
While the West and the Syrian opposition say the government is responsible for the killings, Damascus blames "outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups" for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Hisham Jaber, director, Middle East Studies Center, to further discuss the issue.
