Iran will help push militants out of the last Syrian terrorist stronghold with "the least human cost", Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Tuesday.

"We will try to prevent any damage to the Syrian people and complete the process of clearing extremists," Zarif said, according to state news agency IRNA.

The Iranian official further stated: "The situation in Idlib is sensitive. We will try to remove terrorists from Idlib with the least human cost.”

Zarif said the looming offensive had been discussed with Turkey and Syria.

It will also be addressed at Friday's summit in Tehran between the presidents of Iran, Turkey and Russia.
