Some of the international humanitarian organizations working in Syria are using aid as leverage to achieve political goals, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Friday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik)�� The ongoing violence in�Syria has caused a large-scale humanitarian crisis and claimed the lives of�thousands of�people and displaced millions more. The international community, including the United Nations, has undertaken steps to�end the Syrian conflict and to�improve the humanitarian situation in�the Middle Eastern country.

"Iran has pointed out�several times on�the importance of�comprehensive, joint fight against�terrorism. It is very critical to�maintain neutral posture when it comes to�humanitarian aid since�all the Syrian regions require it. Unfortunately, several international humanitarian organizations used humanitarian aid as�leverage for�achieving their immediate political goals," Zarif told journalists.
