Reuters - Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani called on Turkey to show restraint and avoid military action in Northern Syria, and said U.S. forces should leave the region.

“Turkey is rightfully worried about its southern borders. We believe that a correct path should be adopted to remove those concerns... American troops must leave the region... Kurds in Syria... should support the Syrian army,” state news agency IRNA quoted Rouhani as saying.
