A senior Iranian presidential advisor says the US-led so-called international coalition against the Takfiri ISIL group will fail because of the Islamic Republic's refusal to join it due to the US dishonesty.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran is a country that has ensured its own security despite all mischief, and the Western coalition against extremist and violence-seeking grouplets will not succeed in this battle without the contribution of the Islamic Republic of Iran,� Ali Younesi, who advises President Hassan Rouhani on ethnic and religious minorities, said on Sunday.
�If the US and the West were honest, the Islamic Republic of Iran would certainly help them but they are definitely not honest,� he said, adding that Iran will never agree to join a US-led coalition.
Younesi said big powers created the Takfiri ISIL group in an attempt to defame Islam, adding that the world powers are currently unable to contain these terrorist militants.

�The United Nations Secretary General [Ban Ki-moon] was expected not to be influenced by world powers and fulfill his responsibility vis-�-vis the biggest crimes, which have been committed by Israel in the [Middle East] region,� the Iranian official said.

Paris recently hosted a conference, dubbed the International Conference on Peace and Security in Iraq, to discuss ways of tackling the ISIL terrorists in Iraq and Syria amid US efforts to form a so-called international coalition to battle the Takfiri group.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News in Tehran on Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the US-led coalition against the ISIL terrorists �ridiculous.�

The coalition members include those who provided the ISIL with weapons and training, Rouhani added.
