Iran said on Nov. 2 it would pull out of Syria peace talks if it found them unconstructive, citing Saudi Arabia's negative role, according to the ISNA news agency. 

"In the first round of talks, some countries, especially Saudi Arabia, played a negative and unconstructive role  Iran will not participate if the talks are not fruitful," ISNA cited deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian as saying.
