Israel cannot influence ties with Russia: Iran
Tehran, July 14 : A senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader said on Friday that Israel cannot affect the cordial ties between Iran and Russia, media reports said.
The remarks were made by Ali Akbar Velayati in Moscow on Friday, two days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Xinhua reported.
On Wednesday, Netanyahu reiterated Israel's demand that "Iran needs to leave Syria".
"The process of developing relations between Iran and Russia is not one-sided and, therefore, the irrelevant, meaningless and interventionist claims made by Netanyahu do not affect Iran-Russia relations," Velayati retorted.
Iran's role in Syria will be a key topic at an upcoming summit between Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Finland's capital Helsinki on Monday.
Iran and Russia's presence in Syria will continue to protect the country against terrorist groups and US aggression, the Iranian senior official said.
Velayati, former Iranian Foreign Minister and incumbent international adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, travelled to Moscow on Wednesday to convey messages from Khamenei and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to Putin.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
