Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei expressed regret over the deaths of Afghan civilians in Daesh [the Arabic acronym for terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] terror attacks, stressing that the United States has been relocating the terror organization from the Middle East to the South Asian country to rationalize its military presence in the region.

Imam Khamenei: US Relocating Daesh to Afghanistan to Justify Its Military Presence

By transferring Daesh from Iraq and Syria to Afghanistan, the US seeks "to justify the continuation of its presence in the region and to create security for the Zionist regime," Imam Khamenei said on Tuesday.

The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan under the guise of the war on terror. Some 17 years on, the local Taliban terrorist group has only boosted its campaign of violence across the country, targeting both civilians and security forces in bloody assaults.

More recently, Daesh has also taken advantage of the chaos and established a foothold in eastern and northern Afghanistan. The Takfiri outfit has also stepped up its terror attacks in the war-torn country despite the presence of thousands of foreign troops there.

Touching on the massacre of hundreds of people at the hands of Daesh terrorists in Afghanistan in recent months, the Leader stated, "The same hands that created Daesh as a tool to oppress people in Syria and Iraq and carry out crimes against them are today seeking to transfer Daesh to Afghanistan after its defeats there."

The Imam further stressed that the recent killings in Afghanistan represent an early stage in such a scheme.

"To the US-backed terrorists, Shia and Sunni [Muslims] are no different, and civilians, including Shias and Sunnis, are their target," His Eminence added.

Imam Khamenei described the Americans "as the main source of insecurity in Afghanistan," adding that Washington's proxies have been directly or indirectly involved in the killings perpetrated in the country over the past 20 years in the name of religion.

The Americans, he said, want to advance their own political and economic agendas through destabilizing Afghanistan.

The US also seeks to keep regional governments and nations busy with their own issues so they could not think of countering Zionism, the Imam stressed.
