Kerry calls on Iran to help end Middle Eastern wars

US Secretary of State John Kerry has called on Iran to help end the ongoing wars in the Middle East as Washington’s allies continue bombing Yemen and supporting terrorist groups operating in Syria.

Kerry made the remarks on Thursday during a joint press conference with Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, after the ministerial meetings of the six-nation [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council ([P]GCC) leaders on Thursday in the Bahraini capital Manama. Kerry accused the Islamic Republic of being involved in the disruptive activities and “the destabilizing actions” in the Middle East region.

"We call on Iran to constructively join in the efforts to make peace and to help us to resolve Syria and rather than to continue to send weapons to Houthis, join in the effort... to make peace and to work toward a cessation of hostilities," he said.
