TEHRAN -- Iran on Wednesday blamed military adventurism by the United States and its allies for the emergence of terrorist groups, including Daesh, and the subsequent rise of unprecedented violence in the region.
“Today, civil society groups in the West have realized that military adventurism of the U.S. and some of its Western allies in our region have paved the way for the emergence and rise of terrorist groups like Daesh and Al-Nusra Front, as well as totally unprecedented, brutal and merciless violence in our neighbors,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said.
