US considers Syria policy as John Kerry seeks ways to help civil war rebels
National security advisers met in Washington on Wednesday, to consider what further steps the US can take to help Syria’s struggling rebel groups. Amid fears of a new Syrian government offensive against the rebel-held city of Aleppo, the British foreign secretary, William Hague, warned that the prospects of a negotiated solution to the conflict were fading unless help was given to counter mounting Iranian involvement in the war. But the US secretary of state, John Kerry, who discussed Syrian options at a bilateral meeting with Hague in Washington, said the White House had not yet made a decision on greater intervention. President Barack Obama was not present at the national security meeting, as he was travelling on Democratic party business. “People are talking about what further options might be exercised here,” said Kerry in a press conference following the meeting with Hague. “We obviously had some discussions about that too but we have no announcements to make today.” Source: The Guardian Read more
