TEHRAN, Jan. 02 (MNA) – In a tweet on Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry named the US as one of the main reasons for the rise of terrorism in the region.

"It is a well-documented fact, which has been admitted by Trump, that the US has had a crucial role in the rise of terrorism in our region, from AQ to ISIS," the ministry tweeted.

"Not surprising that the US assassination of Gen. Soleimani was cheered by ISIS: brothers in arms," it added.
