Senior Iranian commander Major General Ghasem Soleimani has said the United States is using the IS Takfiri group as a tool against Muslims.
Major General Soleimani said Tuesday that the IS terrorist group is a product of Washington, adding that the US plans to maintain IS to keep Muslims dependent on Washington.
The commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps made the remarks while briefing members of Iran’s senior clerical body, the Assembly of Experts, on the developments in the region.
The senior military commander added that Iran has foiled Washington’s plans in the region.
He went on to say that the United States has turned this policy into a “lever” to achieve its goals in the region.
