The Iranian first vice president reiterated that helping the oppressed nations of the region tops the government's agenda.

In relevant remarks on Friday, a prominent Syrian analyst underlined that the recent visit by EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to Tehran and her talks on Syria showed that the European block and the NATO have understood that resolving the regional crises would be impossible without Iran's partnership.

"Iran concurrently controls the political and battle fields in Syria," he added.

Mansour said that the interesting point is that the EU is also after bolstering its relations with Iran in light of the current tensions in the region.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Mogherini held two rounds of talks in Tehran on Saturday.

In their second meeting, the two high-ranking officials underlined the need for fight against the terrorist groups and the urgency to resolve the Syrian crisis, specially dispatch of humanitarian aid to war-stricken nation.

During the talks, Zarif welcomed the positive role the European Union plays in overcoming the Syrian crisis, and expressed Iran's readiness to have closer cooperation with the body.

Mogherini arrived in Tehran last Friday night to hold talks with the Iranian officials on regional issues, the question of Syria in particular.
