TEHRAN, Feb. 23 (MNA) � Iran�s FM spokeswoman has said formation of national unity government would cut short the way for terrorists and extremists in Libya.





Marzieh Afkham who was reacting to a blast hitting Iran�s embassy in Libya, condemned the terrorist act; �the authentic information received from Libya indicates that the hand-made explosive device was detonated before the home of Iranian ambassador in capital city of Tripoli which inflicted minor damage,� Afkham added.


�The Islamic Republic of Iran closely watches the development in Libya, and opposes any foreign intervention in the North African country; we believe that political consensus and national dialogue, if realized and successful in forming a national unity government, would cut short the way to terrorist and extremist circles in Libya,� she emphasized.


Afkham denounced training and arming of conflicting groups famously described by the west as �moderate Syrian insurgency� as stark violation of international law and mere repetition of past strategic errors which ended in emergence of ISIL and Al-Nusra Front and other dangerous extremist factions; �in a time when the threat of terrorism has embraced the region and the world, the gross insistence by the US and its allies on a misguided approach will bring nothing but �more devastation of the region and death of more innocent civilians; a policy of silence by the UN about the US measures contradicted its actions in Aleppo to suspend the hostilities,� she asserted.


Afkham recommended US and its allies to respect the UN Security Council�s recent 2199 resolution and other resolutions as a simple and possible way to cut the provision of arms and logistics to terrorist fighters in Syria.
