Jordanian Politician Blames israel for Paris Tragedy

“The Zionists could be the main culprits behind these attacks to increase the West’s military intervention in Syria under the pretext of fighting against terrorism,” Ahmad Abu Fares told FNA on Sunday.

He added that France is also seeking to find a pretext to reestablish relations with the government in Damascus.

In relevant remarks on Wednesday, Commander of Iran’s Basij (volunteer) Force Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi blamed Israel for the recent terrorist attacks in the French capital.

“If we write the word Israel instead of ISIL, the behind the scene of the recent events in France will come into light; the ISIL is the infantry unit of the US and the usurper Zionist regime since they don’t have fighters today anymore and have lost power to fight, and they have created the ISIL by making investment on the fools,” Naqdi said.

“Such events should happen in Europe in order for the US and its hirelings to be able to justify their presence in the region and escape from criticisms,” he added.

Naqdi also described Saudi Arabia as the dealer of the recent incidents, and said Riyadh has founded the ISIL stream and as long as the US is unable to fill the banking accounts of its arms companies with the Saudis’ money, these wars and cruel massacres will continue.

He also warned that the western states seek to spread Islamophobia in Europe and the US by creating fear and horror among the European and American people.

Also last week, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri warned Washington and its European allies not to replay the September 11 theatre to pressure and attack Muslims by misusing the Friday night’s terrorist events in Paris.

Jazzayeri made the remarks after a series of bombings and shootings in the French capital left over 150 people dead and scores of others injured following which certain western media attempted to blame all Muslims for the attacks.

“The French people paid the price for their government’s support for the ISIL and the Takfiri terrorism,” he said.

Jazzayeri warned the US and its allies against misusing the Paris events to attack and pressure the Muslim states like what they did against Afghanistan and Iraq after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and 2003, and said Iran had many times warned that certain European countries’ support for the terrorists will backfire on their advocates one day.

He also referred to the terrorist attack in Beirut earlier this month which killed over 40 people, and said, “The Paris and Beirut blasts are the two sides of the same coin and the international community expects the supporters of Takfiri terrorists, specially the US, France and other western governments, to give up their discriminatory approach and behavior and adopt a common and united position on these crimes.”

The ISIL terrorist group accepted the responsibility for the Paris attacks.

The Iranian officials strongly condemned the attacks and called for overall and serious fight against terrorism.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a message to his French counterpart François Hollande extended his condolences on the killing of people in a series of bombings and shootings in Paris, and reiterated the need for collective efforts to fight against terrorism.

“I, on behalf of the great Iranian nation, which itself has been one of the victims of the ominous phenomenon of terrorism, strongly condemn these anti-human crimes and extend my condolences to the bereaved nation and government of France,” President Rouhani said in his message one day after the attack.

He expressed deep regret over the killing and wounding of a large number of innocent people in Paris, and said, “Undoubtedly, the world’s most important message in such events is more serious will and determination to launch overall fight against the terrorist groups.”
