Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi said Wednesday that the Islamic republic will never allow " foreign prescription" for the Syrian issue, semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, Salehi said that although the situation concerning the Syrian crisis is very tense, Iran's proposals to settle the Arab state's issue can be the only way to move out of the current situation.

"Syrian-Syrian approach" is the only way to overcome the crisis in Syria, he said, implying the direct talks between Syrian opposition groups and the government.

The Syrian people suffer from the crisis in the country and those who are persisting the conflicts should know that they will not be able to rule the country, which is "the sea of blood," Salehi was quoted as saying.

A two-day meeting on Syria concluded in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Nov. 19, with the participants calling for a ceasefire and an end to armed conflicts in the crisis-ridden country.

Later in the month, the Iranian foreign minister said the Islamic republic would host another meeting on Syria in the near future.
