RNA (Tehran) – Mohammad-Reza Naqdi, the commander of the Organization for the Mobilization of the Oppressed (Basij) in Iran, has stated that the command centre of the so-called “Islamic State” Takfiri terrorist group is in the White House and added that the scheme to fight the Islamic State is a continuation of that plan.
“The command centre of the Islamic State is in the White House; the US itself has created this cancerous tumour in the region, and its plan to fight the IS is also the continuation of the same evil plot that it has pursued so far,” Naqdi said, addressing a ceremony in the Central province of Yazd on Sunday.
He elaborated on the US goals of creating the Islamic State, and said the first goal is displaying a fake face of Islam, which has been attained by the Islamic State’s inhuman and savage crimes in the region and releasing their images and footages in the world media; the second goal is sowing discord among the Shi’ites and Sunnis; the third and most important goal of the US is preventing the spread of the Islamic Revolution in the world and its recruitment of anti-arrogance forces, including al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
Brigadier-General Naqdi described another goal of Washington is to provide a pretext on the ground for US military intervention and deployment of its forces in the Middle East. He noted that Western countries wanted to introduce a tainted image of Islam to the world by displaying horrible crimes and savage wickedness against children, women and innocent people with extreme brutality and savagery in a bid to harness the huge waves of Islamism and tendency for Islam in the world, specially the western countries.
He reiterated that the arrogant powers had created the Islamic State but every now and then they attack the terrorists to portray that they were fighting terrorism while the American, British and Israeli military advisors were supporting them in the battlefield.
Naqdi stressed upon the maintenance of unity among Muslims, and said that the West tries to enflame the differences between Shi’ites and Sunnis.
