TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian cleric lashed out at the West for creating and sponsoring the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Takfiri terrorists, and said that the arrogant powers will soon feel the pain of ISIL blows similar to what happened with regard to the al-Qaeda.
"The arrogant powers have both failed to gain to their objective and will soon see the repercussions of their support for the ISIL," member of Iran's Assembly of Experts Ayatollah Abbas Vaez Tabasi said.

He noted that main reason of western countries to support the violent actions of terrorist groups is to introduce tainted image of the Muslim World.

"The ISIL and other terrorist groups like the al-Qaeda have no understanding of Islam and are indeed no more than crazy people who are thirsty for committing crimes," the senior cleric added.

On Monday, Chairman of Iran's Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani lashed out at certain regional countries for their support for the ISIL terrorist group, saying that they are following an unwise policy.

"The support extended to the terrorist groups by certain regional states is political imprudence and lack of foresight," Rafsanjani said in a meeting with Head of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Ammar al-Hakim in Tehran.

He underlined that even if the terrorists manage to control some regions at gun point, they will not be able to rule people since they know nothing but killing, looting and bullying.

Rafsanjani warned the Shiite and Sunni leaders to keep vigilant not to provide the enemies of Islam with an opportunity to stir sectarian strife in the Muslim states, adding that the result of such wars will be nothing but strengthening the terrorist groups.

He also cautioned that establishment of military bases by the enemies indicates their plots to remain in the Muslim territories for a long time.
