"On December 16, Iran unveiled details of a six-point (conflict resolution) plan," said Press TV. It calls for "an immediate end to all violent and armed acts."
It urges humanitarian aid, removing economic sanctions, and helping Syrian refugees return home.
It wants all sides involved in talks. It recommends forming a "national reconciliation committee."
