Terrorist groups a leverage for Imperialism: MP

Western governments are trying to stir up Islamophobia by forming terrorist groups, a member of Iranian Parliament said on Sunday.

Terrorist groups are expanding with the help of some Arab countries of the Persian Gulf and the US, Mehrdad Bazrpash said.

Creating an atmosphere of disagreement and civil war in other countries is one of the strategies that Imperialism uses to change regimes in those countries and the purpose behind terrorism is to dominate the Middle East, added Bazrpash.

He said that ISIS, like the other terrorist groups, enjoys financial support from certain Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, the US, and the Zionist regime to serve aspirations of the hegemonic powers.
