The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hassan Rouhani said that the terrorist organization ISIS has ceased to exist.
Today, November 21, live on state television, the Iranian leader said that «evil», referring to the Islamic state, has been eradicated or very much diminished.
«Of course, the remnants of the past will make itself felt, but the foundations and roots (ISIL) destroyed,» – said Rouhani.
Major-General Kassem, Soleimani, a senior commander of the elite Revolutionary guard of Iran, thanked the «thousands of martyrs» who died for the victory over the militant group in Syria and Iraq.
As it became known, on 9 November the Syrian armed forces together with the allies «freed» the border town of Abu Kamal, which was considered the last stronghold of the Islamic state.
Rouhani said that tomorrow, November 22, he will meet with the presidents of Russia and Turkey Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdoganto discuss the future of Syria and the region.
In my address today, Rouhani also accused the United States and Israel support the Islamic state. This statement is due to the fact that Iran for several years fighting to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose actions have been repeatedly criticized in the United States.
However, Western intelligence services are warning that members of ISIS will go underground and turn to guerrilla rebellion using clandestine cell of the terrorist organization and organizing terrorist attacks around the world.
