Washington itself created the “cancerous tumor and devious current” of ISIL in the region, the Iranian official said.
“The first objective of the United States in creating this criminal current is to portray a distorted image of Islam and this has been achieved through the perpetration of inhumane and savage crimes and their publication by the world media,” he said.
“The second objective is to create rift, animosity and war between the Shia and Sunni,” the Iranian commander pointed out.
