Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham deplored the massacre of innocent people by Takfiri groups in Iraq, and complained that the terrorists of the ISIL enjoy the support of the western powers and their regional allies.

Afkham voiced sympathy with the Iraqi government and nation and families of the victims of the Sunni Abu Nimer tribe in Anbar Province killed by the ISIL terrorists, and said continued inhumane actions by the Takfiri terrorists against of the followers of devine religions, tribes and minorities in different parts of Iraq and Syria is the result of support of certain countries for the terrorist group and indicates the futility of anti-ISIL coalition.

She emphasized the need for serious campaign against Takfiri terrorist groups, and called for sincere assistance of the international community to the Iraqi government and nation to fight terrorism.

In June, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underlined complexity of the plots hatched by the enemies who use any means, even Islamic appearance, to create rift among various sects in Islamic societies.

Addressing a group of Qur’an reciters, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution said that “the enemies’ intelligence apparatus” plays a role in fueling civil conflicts in a number of Islamic communities, including Iraq.

Praising the deep level of insight of the Islamic Ummah, Ayatollah Khamenei underscored, “The enemies of Islam are afraid of this fact and try to confront Islam in the name of Islam and under the cover of Islam."

Ayatollah Khamenei also highlighted the difference between American Islam and true Islam.

"The American Islam, despite having Islamic appearance and name, complies with despotism and Zionism… and totally serves the goals of despotism and the US,” stated the Leader.

Iran has always attached crucial importance to paving the way for the enhancement of interaction and cooperation among Muslim nations in a bid to strengthen Muslim unity throughout the world.
