TEHRAN (ISNA)- Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said presence of terrorists in Iraq aims at creating security for Israel.
Presence of terrorists in Iraqi soil is a trick by enemies of the country to confront the nation's demand and will and create security for Zionist regime, Shamkhani said in a meeting with Iraqi Parliament Speaker Salim Abdullah al-Jabouri here in Tehran.
He also noted that treatment of ISIL and al-Nusra wounded members in Israeli hospitals clearly shows link between terrorism and Israel and is apparent violation of the UN Security Council resolutions.

Al-Jabouri his part, said, "Iran is playing a significant role in the democratic process and establishment of security and stability in the region. We are trying to increase meaningful contacts with Iran to promote regional stability and Iraqi economic development."
