Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs Abbas Araqchi made the remarks in his address to the United Nations Security Council meeting on Friday.

"Based on the experiences of the last decade, we believe that any realistic initiative for resolving regional problems should start from within the [Middle East] region and be based on regional cooperation. Fighting extremism is no exception,” he said.

Araqchi said, “The extremism, which has emerged these days in the form of the ISIL group and their appalling barbarism and abhorrent violence, is among the great threats which have overrun Iraq and Syria and darkened the Middle East’s horizon.”

“We categorically reject the hackneyed act of attaching the name of Islam to the violent and bloody activities, which are carried out by such repulsive groups. This is nothing more than a terrorist organization born out of chaos," the official noted.

The meeting saw the Security Council welcoming the formation of a new Iraqi government and supporting the “collaboration of all states” to help it fight the armed group calling itself IS.

The ISIL terrorists control large parts of Syria’s east and north. ISIL also sent its Takfiri militants into Iraq in June, seizing large swathes of land straddling the border between Syria and Iraq.

The Takfiri terrorist group has committed heinous crimes including mass execution of people and beheading of its hostages.
