Terrorism

The Mazar-i-Sharif incident serves as another piece of evidence that the Iranian nation and officials have always been the victims of terrorism, said President Rouhani.

The recent terrorist attack in Kabul showed that terrorists will do anything to achieve their inhumane and heinous objectives, said Afkham.

The Iranian president has said that Tehran and Ankara should draw up a joint plan to uproot terrorism, adding the current chaotic situation requires more cooperation between Iran and Turkey.

President Rouhani has said that no doubt terrorists will eventually suffer defeat and will be driven out of the region.

The head of the Islamic Madhahib University has said that cooperation among Qom and Najaf seminaries with Al-Azhar will deliver a blow to religious prejudice and violence.

The Iranian top diplomat said Iran's first priority is to have solid relations with its neighbors and that policy has been reiterated especially ever since the new government took office.

The security problems railroad travel is exposed to in Turkey are far from settled, the managing director of the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways said.

Iran has condemned a deadly terrorist attack in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, urging an international consensus on a “firm and pragmatic” battle against extremism.

Undoubtedly any act that would undermine the national sovereignty of countries can, in fact, embolden terrorist groups in committing bestial crimes, said Afkham.

If the region doesn't take seriously President Rouhani's World Against Violence and Extremism (WAVE) initiative, it will be in for a dangerous fate, Aboutalebi said.

Iran’s culture minister has said that all those involved in the resistance front should be actively present in the fight against Zionism, Takfirism, ignorance and bias which has its roots in misinterpretation of Islam.

Iran's Ali Akbar Velayati has said if the fight against terrorism is not pursued decisively today, terrorists will penetrate into Europe and other parts of the world.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called for the further enhancement of cooperation between the Islamic Republic and India, particularly in countering threats posed by terrorism.

Iran says that destruction of the resistance front against the Zionist regime and plundering of the Muslim countries' wealth is the main mission of the terrorist and extremist groups in the region.

Speaker Ali Larijani has said that Iran has always called for Muslim unity and has demonstrated strong determination to tackle terrorism.

Such actions in a place of worship during the holy month of Ramadan are designed to defame Islam and to create division among Muslims, President Rouhani noted.

Ayatollah Khamenei said knowing one's enemies is one of the crucial requirements of the current era and warned against attempts to whitewash the crimes of the enemies.

A day will come when the terrorist and Takfiri groups turn against their own supporters, Velayati said.

Afkham described the content of the US report as repetitive and said a politically-motivated stance on terrorism further complicates the issue.

Iran’s defense minister has said that ISIL lacks the capability and capacity to pose any threat to the Iranian borders, and we do not deem it a threat.

Rezaei also lashed out at the US and Israel for triggering unrest in Muslim countries over the past 70 years, warning that they want insecurity to spill into Iran.

America is using Takfiri terrorists to weaken the Muslim community and tear it apart and to seize control of its capabilities, Nasrallah added.

Iran has said that extremism and terrorism are against humanity and Islam, and killing innocent people, with any purpose and in any form, is rejected and unjustifiable.

The Iranian president has rejected differentiation between good and bad terrorism, saying that we need to identify and eliminate the elements that help terrorists lure the youth.

Terrorism, extremism and endangering the lives of innocent people are unjustified and unacceptable, said Afkham.
