Iran accuses US-led West for stirring terrorism in Muslim world

Xinhua, July 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday lashed out at some western countries for "raising" terrorism in the Muslim world.

"Unfortunately, the Eid al-Fitr in some of the Muslim countries this year was turned into mourning ceremonies by the terrorists who want to introduce the fake Islam as the real Islam," Khamenei made the remarks while leading the prayers of Eid al-Fitr in the capital Tehran.

"Such crimes are the results of raising terrorism by the intelligent services of the United States, Israel and the United Kingdom," he said.

However, the creators of terrorism will not remain secure from the repercussions of terrorist acts either, he warned.

In the early hours of Wednesday, the Iranians attended the mosques and holy shrines across the country to celebrate Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of fasting month of Ramadan. Endit
