US seeks complete withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria after Russia meeting - Bolton

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:20 P.M.) - The U.S. seeks the complete withdrawal of all Iranian forces from Syria, U.S. defense official John Bolton stated after his meeting with Russian politician Nikolai Patrushev, the Interfax News Agency reported.

Coming off his recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Bolton sought to increase pressure on Iran by including Russia in the mix of countries seeking to have the Persian Gulf nation leave Syria.

While Patrushev did not comment on Iran, he did state that he and Bolton acknowledge that Russia and the U.S. have some disagreements, without specifying which topics.

Bolton has long opposed Iran's presence in Syria and continues to demand their immediate withdrawal from the Levantine nation.
