Top Commander: Al-Qaeda Weapons to Target US Soon

TEHRAN (FNA)- Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces for Cultural Affairs and Defense Publicity Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri lashed out at Washington’s double-standard policies on terrorism, warning that the West-backed Al-Qaeda terrorists will one day aim their guns at the US.

“This double-standard policy will sooner or later be exposed and the Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups will soon target their weapons at the Americans,” Brigadier General Jazzayeri said Saturday.

He said terrorists playing with their godfathers is the future perceived for the dirty game of the US and the Zionists.

“The spillover of the terrorism underway in the region, specially in Syria, will undoubtedly create numerous problems for the US and other regional and non-regional actors which are breeding and nurturing terrorists,” Jazzayeri added.

Iranian officials on many occasions have rapped the US and the West as the main and the biggest sponsors of terrorism, and deplored the West's double-standard policy towards this devilish phenomenon.

Earlier this month, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani in a meeting with Head of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq (ISCI) Ammar al-Hakim warned of the emergence of the 3rd wave of terrorism in the world, and called for indiscriminate fight against this ominous phenomenon.

"The grounds are being prepared through the metamorphosis of noble human beliefs for the emergence and living of the third wave of modern terrorism as a comprehensive threat to the global peace and security," Shamkhani said during the meeting in Tehran.

He said that despite the claims made by the influential countries' officials about campaign against terrorism, no firm will is witnessed in them to this end.

Shamkhani underlined that fighting terrorism without giving any concessions is merely possible by giving up double-standard policies on this phenomenon, and called on the main international actors to reach consensus over eradicating terrorism.
