Iran's speaker blames regional states policies for terrorism growth

Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said historic mistakes made by certain regional countries in recent years was the reason behind the spread of terrorism in the Middle East region.
 
Measures adopted by certain regional courtiers have resulted in an increase in the terrorist groups scope of influence on the region, Larijani said, addressing a joint meeting of cabinet members and lawmakers at the Iranian parliament on Tuesday evening.



Some regional countries, which provided support for terrorists, did not know that they were fueling the flames, which can engulf their own country, he noted.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Larijani called Irans role in countering terrorism "very important," and said the Iranian foreign ministry can initiate a strong regional interaction to help regional states confront terrorists.

During the session, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also stressed the need for comprehensive move against terrorist groups in the region.

Fortunately, Iran is the regions stable country and has always provided support for the regional countries, especially Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Afghanistan, and God willing, we will continue to support them in a bid to make the region stable, Rouhani said.
