Tillerson About Russia's Choice

Nicholas Kamm / AFP

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asked Russia to make choice between the US and like-minded countries on Syria, or embrace Iran, the militant group Hezbollah, and embattled Syrian leader Bashar Assad, CBS News reports.

"We want to relieve the suffering of the Syrian people," Tillerson added in remarks to reporters. "Russia can be a part of that future and play an important role. Or Russia can maintain its alliance with this group, which we believe is not going to serve Russia's interests longer term."

"It is clear to all of us that the reign of the Assad family is coming to an end," he said. "But the question of how that ends and the transition itself could be very important in our view to the durability, the stability inside of a unified Syria."

"That's why we are not presupposing how that occurs," Tillerson added.
