US, Israel supporting Takfiri terrorists in Middle East: Velayati


Press TV - A senior Iranian official says the United States, Israeli regime and certain countries in the Middle East are supporting Takfiri terrorists in the region, stressing that such extremistsand their sponsors are on the verge of annihilation.

Terrorists and extremist and Takfiri movements are backed by the US, the Zionists and some regional countries that do not want stability, security, independence and unity among regional countries, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on international affairs, said in a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri in Beirut on Friday.

He added that all terrorists and Takfiri groups in the region would be eliminatedin the near future.

He emphasized that Iran welcomes Lebanons stability and independence and pointed to last month's remark byHariri that he will join a coalition government with Hezbollah, saying, The formation of a coalition government is undoubtedly a success for all the Lebanese people.

The Lebanese premier, for his part, stressed the importance of stepping up resistance against extremist and Takfiri groups to tackle the serious challenges they are posing to the region.
