RNA - "Iran enjoys a special weight in the region's chaotic situation today. Today, a certain stream is after changing the map of the region and maybe the US foreign secretaries have naively disclosed this issue but it was the Islamic Republic of Iran which prevented them to succeed on this path," Larijani said, addressing a congress in Tehran on Thursday.
"It was the Islamic Republic of Iran which helped the regional people to resist against them; of course, they (the US and its allies) bully but haven’t been successful," he added.
In relevant remarks in May 2015, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri underlined that the US has created the ISIL terrorist group to implement its long-term plot to change the Middle-East's map.
"The ISIL is the product of the thoughts and acts of the US state-sponsored terrorism with the aim of defaming Islam and preventing people's tendency in different societies and countries towards this religion," Jazzayeri said, addressing a number of Armed Forces' commanders and officials in Tehran.
"Implementation of plots to create a new Middle-East, creation of desired changes in line with the illegitimate interests of the Zionist regime, creating uncertainty in the resistance front and the nations' awakening, the destruction of culture and civilization and resources of the regional countries' progress and development to weaken the Muslims in all fields with the help and alliance of the regional hirelings are among other goals of creating the ISIL," he added.
Jazzayeri warned that the destructive consequences of creating and advocating the terrorist groups will entangle their supporters in the near future.
