(MENAFN) Russia and Iran are divided over US participation in planned Syria peace talks, a Moscow official said on Saturday, hinting at a rare public spat between the allies.
In detail, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, told the BBC on Saturday that Russia welcomes potential US participation in the Astana talks, but that Iran is not in agreement.
"We will welcome that," Peskov said in reference to a question on Washington's participation in the peace talks, which were agreed as part of a ceasefire deal last month.
However, he said, "the situation is very complicated."
