Obama ‘prepared to work’ with Russia, Iran on Syria

UNITED NATIONS (New York): US President Barack Obama declared on Monday that the United States does not want a new Cold War over the Ukraine conflict and is prepared to work with Russia and Iran on the Syrian crisis.

"The United States is prepared to work with any nation, including Russia and Iran, to resolve the conflict," Obama said of Syria, addressing the United Nations general assembly.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin was due to address the assembly later and has urged world powers to back Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in his battle against the Islamic State group.
