Any ceasefire in Syria should not include stopping military operations to combat terrorist groups, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Thursday.
"Ceasefire, based on everybody's interpretation, does not include giving a breathing space to recognized terrorist organizations," he told an event in British parliament. "Having a ceasefire is different from letting up the fight against terrorism."
He named the Nusra Front and Daesh as such organizations, The Daily Mail reported.
Earlier Zarif had called for an immediate ceasefire in Syria and for U.N.-mediated peace talks to resume after they were suspended on Wednesday.
