Russia Tells Israel: We Can't Force Iran Out of Syria

(Reuters) Russia cannot compel Iranian forces to quit Syria, Moscow's ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov told Israel's Channel 10 on Monday. "We can talk with our Iranian partners very frankly and openly, trying to persuade them to do or not to do something," he said. But asked whether Russia can force Iran out, he answered: "We cannot." Viktorov added: "We cannot dictate to Israel how to proceed....It is not up to Russia to give Israel freedom to do anything, or to prohibit Israel to do anything."
