Spokesman of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Mr. Zarif was slated to visit Moscow on Friday April 14 to take part at a three-way session with Syria’s Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Muallem as well as Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov.
Talks are expected to revolve around US allegations of a chemical attack in Syria's Idlib province, a claim strongly rejected by Damascus, and the subsequent US missile strike on a Syrian al-Shayrat Airbase.
The attack, which had no consent from UN Security Council or the US Congress, marked US' first ever direct strike on Syrian facilities.
