Published on Aug 29, 2012 by RussiaToday : The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has arrived in Tehran to take part in the Summit of the Non-Aligned movement... that's a bloc of countries that don't consider themselves in union with the U.S.
Washington has voiced criticism of the UN chief's visit to Iran and of the gathering in general.
Despite Iran's willingness and ability to help find a solution to the Syria crisis, any ideas put forward by Tehran could be met with resistance.
