"The US, the Zionist regime and the reactionary regimes in the region have always sought destruction of the Islamic Iran's stability and security in the past few years and attempted to use any opportunity to make this happen," General Javani was quoted as saying by the Iranian media on Monday.
He referred to the US strategic defeats in the region and the repeated failures of their allies, including Israel and the Saudi regime, and said, "Therefore, they are after creating challenges inside the Islamic Republic and have made lots of investments to this end."
In relevant remarks in November, Iranian Supreme Leader's top adviser for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati warned of new plots by the supporters and sponsors of the ISIL terrorist group, and said that the new wave of destabilizing the Middle East is coming.
"They (US and other terrorists’ sponsors) have been talking about plans for redrawing the Middle East since a few years ago; their intention of creating a new Middle East was to disrupt borders and for doing that they needed to cause discord and weaken the resistance so that the Israeli regime would feel safe and secure; the plan was funded by Saudi Arabia and its mastermind was Israel,” Velayati explained.
He reiterated that the defeat of the ISIL will provoke the terrorists’ founders and sponsors to hatch new destabilizing plots in the Middle East.
