Russia Consulted with Iran Prior to Attacks on ISIL
Speaking in a joint press conference with his Polish counterpart, Larijani said the consultations were on creating a coalition against terrorists.
He also stressed that Russia’s attacks on ISIL positions have been carried out with precision so far.
Russia started carrying out airstrikes in Syria against the positions of ISIL since late September at the request of the Syrian government.
Moscow said on Saturday it would step up its air strikes in Syria, where a year-long air campaign by a US-led coalition of Western and Arab forces against ISIL has failed to push back the militants.
Russia says the US has only been pretending to strike ISIL all during the time, with deserts being the primary target of strikes rather than terrorists in Syria.
