Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi has said that Iran welcomes establishing the ceasefire in Syria.
“Iran has always welcomed establishing a ceasefire in Syria and providing access to humanitarian aid for all people of the country,” Tasnim news agency quoted him as saying.
Following a meeting in Geneva on September 10, Russia and the US agreed to co-ordinate air strikes against extremists in Syria.
As part of a detailed agreement to reduce the violence there, a "cessation of hostilities" is expected to start from September 12.
The ceasefire does not include terrorist groups such as the IS terrorist group (ISIS,ISIL, Daesh).
Bahram Qasemi also called for monitoring Syrian borders in order to prevent sending aid to terrorists during the ceasefire.
