Tehran and Washington have exchanged messages over the crisis in Syria, according to comments made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. 

Zarif was quoted on September 9 as saying that the two sides have been in communication about what’s happening in Syria, Iran's main regional ally. 

At a news conference to mark the end of his visit to Iraq, where he reaffirmed Iran's opposition to possible U.S. military strikes against the Syrian regime over its alleged use of chemical weapons, Zarif answered a question about whether Iran and the United States would hold direct talks on the crisis.
