Last week, the president of Syria, Bashar Assad, paid a surprise two-day visit to Iran and held a news conference with Mohammad Khatami, the Iranian president, in which the two denounced the presence of US troops in Iraq.
"There is no ambiguity between us and Syria where Iraq is concerned," Khatami said. "The solution is the quick end to the occupation, the installation of a government comprising all elements of the Iraqi people and the cooperation of the international community to bring stability and reconstruction."
