Terrorism

Creation of a world against violence and extremism came up for discussion in a phone conversation between the Iranian and French presidents.

Efforts to fight terrorism are not enough on their own unless people contribute to investigations, Alavi said.

The Europeans and Americans must stop exporting terrorists to the region, Ayatollah Sadegh Amoli Larijani said.

A renowned Arab journalist has said that Paris attacks are likely to be just the tip of an iceberg, and not a passing episode, adding that elimination of terrorism needs something more than security and military approaches.

The Iranian minister referred to “foreign infiltration” and “Takfiri terrorists” as the most important soft and hard threats against the country.

Jahangiri said as part of a first phase of the overall fight against terrorism an intellectual front is being formed and scholars play an important role on that front.

In a message to the French president, President Rouhani has condemned Paris attacks and expressed condolences to the families of the victims and the French government.

Iran has always condemned terrorist attacks in any form and in any region, Ali Larijani said.

President Rouhani denounces France’s terror attacks, saying the world is more determined than before to take on terror groups.

The Intelligence Ministry has foiled plots by Iran’s enemies to create insecurity in the country during the month of Muharram, Alavi said.

Iran can serve as a center to expand economic ties between Belgium and the EU with the entire region and a timely use of the opportunity will be beneficial to nations,” President Rouhani said.

At least two people were killed and two others sustained injuries after masked assailants opened fire on a group of mourners in Safiabad.

Tekin refused media reports about the hospitalization of al-Baghdadi in Turkey.

Iran is ready to exchange experience with Nigeria on the fight against terrorism, Afkham said.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham on Saturday strongly condemned the terrorist attack in east Saudi Arabia which claimed lives of many innocent civilians gathering together to mourn the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam.

The massacre of innocent women and men is an inhumane unjustifiable act, Afkham said.

Brigadier General Hossein Hamadani, the veteran commander of the IRGC, was martyred during an attack by ISIL terrorists on the outskirts of Aleppo.

The president expressed Tehran’s readiness to hold consultations with Zagreb on issues of mutual interest, as well as regional and international developments.

Foreign Minister Zarif has warned that if the crisis in the region is left unchecked, none of the members of the global community will be left unscathed.

President Rouhani said Iran is ready to cooperate with any country whose top priority is fighting terrorism.

President Rouhani said Iranian people displayed unprecedented unity during the eight-year war.

Ghost Security, a hacking group, says its mission is to eliminate the online presence of extremist groups such as ISIL, stymie their recruitment and limit their ability to organize international terrorist efforts.

The commander also noted that the IRGC’s presence in those regions has strongly undermined terrorist groups’ morale.

Foreign Minister Zarif has reaffirmed Iran’s firm support for the Syrian nation, saying Syria's fate should be decided by its own people without any foreign meddling.

Today, no one can deny that extremists and terrorists are by far more powerful than what their demagogue masters could imagine in 2001, Foreign Minister Zarif wrote.
