TEHRAN (defapress)- Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi blasted the western countries for creating and supporting the terrorist groups, and said the US is now trying to relocate the ISIL to Afghanistan to ignite wars among Muslims and create instability in the region.

"The US has started another plot to move the ISIL commanders to Afghanistan from Syria and Iraq to destabilize the region," Boroujerdi told reporters on Friday.

He reiterated that the creation of the ISIL and disintegrating Iraq and Syria were devised by the US and its allies in the region, but they were seriously defeated.

Boroujerdi, meantime, pointed to the Saud-led aggression against the Yemeni people, and said, "The Saudis use Israeli and American weapons against the men, women and children in Yemen, and after about 1,000 days of war, the aggressors are the real losers of the war."

In relevant remarks earlier in February, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned that the US has transferred the ISIL terrorists from Iraq and Syria to Afghanistan to create new problems for Iran.

"The US has transferred the ISIL from Iraq to Afghanistan to cause problems in Iran again, but the Iranian nation will foil all these plots with the guidelines of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei)," Larijani said.

He downplayed the plots hatched by US President Donald Trump and his accomplices to create changes in Iran, and said, "They utter cheap words on Iran's missile industry."

In relevant remarks late in January, Ayatollah Khamenei expressed deep regret over the massacre of the Afghan people in the recent terrorist attacks, blaming the US for the tragedies by transferring the ISIL terrorists to Afghanistan to guarantee its presence in the region.

"The US goal of transferring the ISIL terrorists to Afghanistan is justification of its continued deployment in the region and establishment of security for the Zionist regime," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing the Iranian seminaries in Tehran.

"The same hands which used the ISIL as a tool to oppress and commit crimes against the people in Syria and Iraq by its creation, is today after transferring the ISIL to Afghanistan after sustaining defeat in those regions, and the recent massacres are actually the start of this plot," he added.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the US-backed terrorists don’t differentiate between the Shiites and Sunnis, and added, "The US wants this region not to see good days and wants the regional governments and nations to be busy with their own affairs so that they don’t think of opposing the evil agent of arrogant powers, that is Zionism."

He described the United States' other goal of creation of insecurity as justification of its presence in the region, and said, "The Americans, themselves, are the main cause for insecurity in Afghanistan and the killings in this region since 20 years ago under the name of religion were carried out, directly or indirectly, by the US agents, and they are now after guaranteeing their presence by fomenting insecurity and attaining their political and economic objectives."
