The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations has dismissed claims about Iran?s military presence in Syria and the shipment of arms by Tehran to Damascus, Press TV reported Saturday. "Despite the unfounded allegations, no Iranian military forces or advisors are present in Syria, but, unfortunately, certain regional countries are interfering in Syria?s internal affairs and fanning the flame of the conflict in the country by sending arms to extremist and terrorist groups," Mohammad Khazaei said. He stressed that Iran welcomes any measure aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the unrest in Syria and noted that Tehran will host a third meeting with the same objective in the coming days. The Friends of Syria Conference will be held in the Iranian capital under the banner of "Political Solution, Regional Stability" on May 29. Iran had held two other meetings on the crisis in the Arab country in November and August 2012
