The US, Russia and the UN discussed Iran's participation in the conference in a meeting, and following the meeting Brahimi said an invitation has been sent to Tehran to take part in the gathering in the Swiss town of Montreux, RT reported. "Iran's participation or non-participation is not a matter of ideology, it is a matter of common sense," the envoy said. Kerry said that the US supports Iran's participation in the conference, but insists that Tehran should endorse the peace roadmap agreed to during the previous Syria peace conference in Geneva.
