Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said there is "no military solution" for Syria on Wednesday during a video conference with his Russian and Turkish counterparts about the war-torn country.

"The Islamic republic believes the only solution to the Syrian crisis is political and not a military solution," Rouhani said in a televised opening address.

"We continue to support the inter-Syrian dialogue and underline our determination to fight the terrorism of Daesh [the Arabic acronym for ‘ISIS/ISIL’], Al-Qaeda and other related groups."

"I emphasize that the fight against terrorism will continue until it is completely eradicated in Syria and the region in general," he added.
