In Baghdad on Tuesday, The Iraqi foreign minister said the ISIL Takfiri terrorist group, which operates in his country and Syria, will pose "very dangerous" threats to regional countries.
The danger that today threatens Iraq and Syria will challenge Turkey and Saudi Arabia as well as other regional countries, Jafari said, stressing that all nations are "duty-bound" to combat the ISIL terror.
The Iranian defense minister, for his part, reaffirmed Tehran’s support for an independent and united Iraq and added that the two neighbors have overcome significant hurdles.
ISIL is a Takfiri extremist group which has its roots in the insurgency against the US-led invasion on Iraq in 2006, and was later developed to a bigger group in Syria in 2012.
The group is known to be responsible for mass murders and extremist acts of violence across Syria and Iraq.
ISIL leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, who was a detainee at US Bucca prison in 2005, has announced himself as the caliph of the Muslim world.
Turkey and Saudi Arabia along with certain regional countries have been involved in financing, training and arming Takfiri terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
