Republicof Iran has well managed to defuse a plot by the United States to spread terrorism and cause rifts in the Middle East region to avert attention from the Zionist regime of Israel.
"The United States created terrorist groups like ISIS in the region in a bid to distract public attention from the Zionist regime. The United States either does not want or cannot ensure security in the Middle East," the Leader said in an address to a huge gathering of pilgrims in the holy Iranian city of Mashhad on Wednesday on the first day of the Persian New Year.
Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say that Western countries have failed to establish security and stability in Afghanistan, stressing that Tehran has offered assistance to regional countries based on good faith.
The Leader pointed out that Iran has managed to cleanse many parts of the Middle East from the presence of terrorists.
"Iran has never sought to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries," he stated.
