ISIL group is aimed at protecting the Israeli regime. "The alliance of the ISIL creators for confronting this terrorist group is an effort to forge safe borders for the Zionist regime rather than bring about regional stability and security for the oppressed people of the [Middle East] region," Ali Shamkhani said on Wednesday. Contradictions, rivalries and divergent objectives among the anti-ISIL coalition are the main factors that will render it inefficient, Shamkhani added. "If the promotional shows by the United States and its allies in the so-called fight against terrorism had resulted in any decisive outcome in this regard, there would have been no sign of terrorist acts today," he said. Elsewhere, Shamkhani reaffirmed Iran's commitment to battling terrorism, noting that the Islamic Theocratic Republicwill continue to support the Iraqi and Syrian governments in dealing with terrorist ISIL elements. Shamkhani also noted that Tehran had received a request from Denmark to join the so-called anti-ISIL coalition, but the Islamic Theocratic Republicturned down the appeal. The request came during a visit by Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard to Iran earlier this month days after a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... summit in Wales, Shamkhani said. |
