Baku-APA. A senior Iranian lawmaker says the Islamic Republic is skeptical about the earnestness of the United States in the campaign against terrorism in the Middle East, APA reports quoting Press TV.
“We have doubts about US's seriousness in the fight against terrorism. We are witnessing apparently mistaken aerial aid to Daesh and apparently mistaken attacks on the positions of the Syrian Army,” the chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said in a meeting with diplomats, researchers and reporters in Paris on Tuesday.
He added that developments during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s and unfair sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program taught the Iranians that they should rely on themselves in order to defend the country.
“We are a peaceful nation and bear fundamental opposition to nuclear and chemical weapons and this is while an atomic power exists on our eastern borders and the Zionist regime [of Israel] has some 200 nuclear warheads,” the senior Iranian legislator said.
