Iranian foreign minister said Monday that Tehran is "ready to help any logical attempts" to end the Syrian conflict, during a visit by UN-Arab League envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi.
  
ZarifBrahimi was in Tehran for the second day of talks with Iranian officials about ending the conflict in Syria, a key regional ally of Iran.

"Iran is ready to help any logical attempts which are based on the realities of Syria, particularly those efforts made by the United Nations (which) are being pursued by Lakhdar Brahimi," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by official news agency IRNA.
  
"Without being affected by the pressures of some countries, the UN should play its independent role and continue its attempts to resolve the crisis," he added.
  
Brahimi said addressing the crisis in Syria would "affect the security and stability of the whole region," IRNA reported.

The envoy's visit came as Syrian troops were preparing to launch a fresh offensive north of Damascus after taking the terrorists’ stronghold of Yabroud on Sunday.
