STORYLINE
A senior Iranian cleric prayed for Russian success against the Islamic State group in a rare show of support for a non-Muslim country during a religious service.
Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani made the comment during Friday prayers in Tehran, highlighting Iran's good relations with Russia.
The two countries are engaged in a strategic partnership in the region, both supporting embattled president Bashar Assad's government in Syria.
Kermani also called on Russia and Turkey to exercise self-restrain and act "wisely" in the wake of the downing of a Russian jet.
