Local Editor

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon highlighted Iran’s status in the Middle East, saying the Islamic Republic plays an important role in the establishment of regional peace, in a press conference at the UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday. 

Ban told reporters at a press conference in New York, "As I said many times in the past, Iran is an important actor and [an] important country in the region when it comes to peace and security and harmony in the region." 

He made the remarks when asked about Iran’s role in settling crises in the Middle East, including in Iraq and Syria.

Iran has repeatedly voiced readiness to further contribute to the establishment of peace and security in the region.
IT has on several occasions voiced support for the Iraqi government since it began fighting against the so-called "Daesh" [ISIL] terrorists in June, which are in control of some areas in Syria and have captured large swathes of land in neighboring Iraq.
