On Thursday, Volgograd hosts the first meeting of a commission on cooperation between the Russian State Duma and the Iranian Mejlis under the chairmanship of the speaker of the lower house of the Russian Parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, and the head of the Iranian Parliament.

Idlib province is one of Syria's de-escalation zones and a remaining stronghold of the insurgency in the country. The situation in the province has recently escalated with Moscow and Damascus suggesting that militants are planning to stage a false-flag chemical attack against civilians there to frame the Syrian government.

Iran, alongside Russia and Turkey, is a guarantor of the ceasefire regime in Syria.
