Ayatollah Khamenei: Daesh terrorism created, supported by certain countries

The leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called for strengthening national unity in neighboring Iraq in the face of plots by the US and certain regional countries to partition the country. 

In a meeting with the visiting Iraqi President Fouad Massum, Ayatollah Khamenei said that Iraqi people including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Arabs have coexisted for centuries, but that some regional and foreign countries are now seeking to magnify any existing problems. The leader added that Americans shouldn't be allowed to regard Iraq as their personal property. He also hailed the deep and historical relations between Iran and Iraq. Ayatollah Khamenei also praised the recent gains made by Iraqi troops and volunteer forces in the fight against Daesh Takfiri militants. The Iraqi president for his turn thanked Iran’s Leader for his advice, expressing gratitude to Tehran for assisting Baghdad in the battle against terrorists. Iran’s Leader also held a separate meeting with Algerian Prime Minister Abdulmalik Sallal. During the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Daesh terrorism which has afflicted the region, is not normal, and that the terror group has been created and supported by certain countries.
