British Foreign Secretary William Hague says Iran and the militant Shi'ite group Hizballah are giving Syrian President Bashar al-Assad increasing support.
Hague, speaking at a news conference in Jordan's capital, Amman, said Assad's regime "is being propped up by others outside."
He added that Britain would urge international powers to set a date in the next few days for an international conference to try to end the two-year conflict engulfing Syria.
Hague is in Amman for a meeting of the Friends of Syria group of countries which support the anti-Assad opposition.
Besides Hague, top diplomats from Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States are attending the meeting.
