Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Iranian television that any solution to the growing Syrian crisis will come internally, and that he will reject any solution imposed from foreign entities. "[N]o one knows how to solve Syria's problems better than we do," Assad said.

The comments came on the heels of Russia's reaffirmation that it would not endorse any plan for a transition of power that would require Assad to step down. Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, said, "We will not support and cannot support any meddling from outside or any imposition of recipes."
