International negotiators have reached a deadlock on whether or not to invite Iran for peace talks over the Syrian conflict, according to the UN-Arab League envoy.
Lakhdar Brahimi stated that United States (US) remains unconvinced of Iran’s participation in the peace
Brahimi met American and Russian delegations in the Geneva Switzerland to decide the list of nations participating in the peace talks on 22 January.
“On Iran, we haven’t agreed yet,” he told reporters on Friday.
“It’s no secret that we in the United Nations welcome the participation of Iran, but our partners in the United States are still not convinced.”
America opposes Iran’s presence, because of Teheran’s support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
For the peace conference called Geneva , 26 nations have been asked to join in.
The conference aims to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid, end the fighting and outline a political transition for Syria.

This is possibly the greatest danger in allowing Iran to have open and approved entre into the region’s political affairs as a newly crowned “peace maker.” The irony given its track record of fanning regional tensions is laughable. It’s similar to asking a burglar to serve as a watchman on a bank.
