Iranian commander rejects cooperation with US over Iraq's crisis

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian commander underlined Washington's role in the creation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group, and strongly dismissed reports about possible Iran-US cooperation over Iraq's crisis.
Such cooperation (between Iran and the US) is not possible at all because Iran is standing against the ISIL, while the United States has created the ISIL, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said on Friday.

On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham questioned the goal of the so-called international coalition formed to fight the ISIL terrorist group, and lashed out at Washington and its allies for pursuing a double-standard policy towards campaign against terrorism in various countries.

The so-called international coalition to fight the ISIL group, which came into existence following a NATO summit in Wales and is taking shape, is shrouded in serious ambiguities and there are severe misgivings about its determination to sincerely fight the root causes of terrorism, Afkham said.

Some of the countries in the coalition are among financial and military supporters of terrorists in Iraq and Syria and some others have reneged on their international duties in the hope of (seeing) their desired political changes in Iraq and Syria, she added.

She noted that the double standards adopted by these countries in dealing with extremism have contributed to the spread of terrorism across the world.
