Tehran has rejected the anti-Iran accusations in the annual global terrorism report by the US Department of State, censuring Washington for adopting a double-standard approach in dealing with the issue of terrorism.<\/p>\n
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham on Saturday described the content of the US report as repetitive and said a politically-motivated stance on terrorism further complicates the issue.<\/p>\n
“The growing and complicated scourge of terrorism is rooted in applying double standards and a political approach toward this evil and inhumane phenomenon,” Afkham said.<\/p>\n
In its annual global terrorism report released on Friday, the State Department accused Iran of supporting terrorist groups and conducting terror-related activities.<\/p>\n
The Iranian official also described Iran as the “biggest victim of terrorism” over the past three decades, adding that leveling accusations against a country which spearheads international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, extremism and violence is part of a “blame game” played against the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n
The Iranian official took a swipe at the real supporters of terrorist groups as well as the so-called advocates of human rights for the surge in terror threats in the world.<\/p>\n
Afkham questioned the US claim of fighting terrorism, saying the presence and unhindered operations of terrorists in the US, Washington’s failure to take a serious and firm action against terrorist and extremist groups as well as its indifference to Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people discredit such so-called terrorism reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
