RNA - "The ISIL enjoying the West's supports uses barbaric terrorism that is far crueler than the known terrorism," Araqchi said.

The Iranian deputy foreign minister reiterated that one should see that their confused masters are doing so; blind terrorism has no ways except killing innocent people and this is the disaster happening in Syria and Iraq every day.

"If Iran were not actively and robustly present in Syria and Iraq, and the defenders of the holy shrines did not selflessly go to the remote regions to fight the ISIL, Iran would have to fight ISIL in the country now," Araqchi added.

In a relevant development on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi called on the world countries to join hands to uproot terrorism and extremism in the Middle East region.

"Certain countries should give up their short-term economic and political interests and join the fight for uprooting international terrorism and extremism," Qassemi said.

He reiterated that all know the root causes of extremism and violence very well, and said, "This is not an advice or a political stance by Iran, but it is a must and a necessity to safeguard world security."

"Those who do not intend to face the reality, dreadful increase of crimes committed by terrorists in every corner of the world should make themselves sooner or later," Qassemi added.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman underlined that the only solution to terrorism is to give up double-standard approach towards the phenomena and to align with the international move against extremism and violence.

"The increase in blind and chain terrorist attacks across the world is a sign of warning for the international community," Qassemi added.
