“We reject any foreign intervention in Syria and we don’t want Syria to plunge into crisis…,” Salehi said in a joint press conference with his Jordanian counterpart, Nasser Judeh, in Amman on Tuesday.

“The Syria crisis and its consequences for the region are very heavy, and must be peacefully settled within the framework of a Syrian-Syrian solution. [If] any political vacuum occurs in this country, its consequences would affect all [regional] countries,” he warned.

Salehi reaffirmed Iran’s support for Syria’s territorial integrity and the legitimate demands of the Syrian people, noting that the Islamic Republic has undertaken efforts to bring Syrian officials and the opposition to the negotiation table in view of a peaceful solution.

“We have called on the [Syrian] opposition to negotiate with the government and form a transitional government and determine their own future,” he said.

The Iranian minister, however, made it clear that those terrorist groups which have the blood of innocent Syrians on their hands - including the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front - will not be part of the solution.

For his part, the Jordanian minister said his country favors a political solution that will involve all elements of the Syrian society and guarantee the national sovereignty and integrity of the Arab country.

During the press conference, Judeh also expressed Jordan's "clear stance" towards the Iranian nuclear program and the need to resolve this issue through dialogue and diplomatic channels, "we do not want to see an arms race in the region, and reject anything that exacerbates tensions and instability in the region."

The Iranian Foreign Minister arrived in Amman on Tuesday on a two-day official visit in which he met with Jordan's King Abdullah II and senior Jordanian officials. Salehi will inaugurate the new building of the Iranian embassy in Amman, and is expected to hold a roundtable discussion with Jordanian journalists and columnists.
