"The threat of terrorism and its root causes such as the Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...ideology, which is promoted by certain countries, have caused crisis for the entire region and are a big obstacle in the path of Moslem countries' growth and progress," Shamkhani said in a meeting with Azerbaijan's Interior Minister Ramil Usubov and his accompanying delegation in Tehran on Monday.
He lashed out at the United States and the Israeli regime for pursuing policies aimed at sowing discord among neighboring countries.
"It is necessary to maintain vigilance and increase interactions and constructive dialogues to neutralize destructive efforts by ill-wishers who aim to create skepticism and rift among regional countries," the senior Iranian security official said.
Shamkhani added that illegal sanctions imposed by the United States have been turned into a tool in the hands of US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
to take Dire Revenge on opposing countries.
"However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
the past experience has showed that such actions are not effective but only lead to further isolation of the US among the international community," Shamkhani pointed out.
The Azerbaijani minister, for his part, condemned a recent terrorist attack in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz and expressed his sympathy with the Iranian government and people over the bitter incident.
Usubov said Iran and Azerbaijan are facing common threats emanating from the creation of Takfiri terrorist groups and their measures.
