Rouhani: Iran one of main victims of terrorism

Rouhani slams US, Europe for double standard on terrorism

President Hassan Rouhani says Iran is one of the main victims of terrorism, blaming major foreign powers for supporting terrorist groups in the region.  

Rouhani made the comments at the Second International Congress on Iranian Victims of Terrorism. The president blamed the United States and some European countries for adopting a double-standard approach towards terrorism. According to Rouhani, these countries claim to fight terrorist groups such as Daesh and al-Qaeda, but they turn a blind eye to state-sponsored terrorism of the Israeli regime. He also slammed certain regional Muslim countries for supporting terror groups, warning that such policy will eventually backfire. The Iranian president added that Tehran will stand by the oppressed people and victims of terrorism anywhere in the region and will support regional countries in the fight against terror.
