“We are very delighted that all the sacrifices in the last couple of years fruited in the last couple of months,” said Hossein Jaberi Ansari, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs, on Monday.
The Iranian diplomat made the remarks on the sidelines of service ceremony paying homage to the late father of Foreign Ministry’s Spokesman Bahram Ghasemi in Tehran.
“Thank God the military existence of ISIL terrorists in Iraq and Syria has been eradicated and the Islamic Republic of Iran, as the pioneer of war on terrorists, shares the victory of today and stay beside the nations of the region,” asserted the Iranian diplomat.
Touching upon the statement issued by Arab League foreign ministers, Mr. Jaberi Ansari said that the statement was issued under the pressure posed by Saudis and media and propaganda hype of the kingdom in dire contrast with the will of many Arab countries.
