Nasrallah: US created IS to fight its and Israel’s enemies
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHezbollah leader Nasrallah accuses the US of creating Islamic State to fight its and Israel’s enemies in the Middle East.
“Islamic State is a means to achieve US goals, as demonstrated through the return of American troops in Iraq,” he says according to naharnet.com.
“They want IS to reach all of Iran’s borders and even within Iran itself,” he adds. “They sought to fight us through direct means, such as the 2006 war with Israel, but they failed and so they are seeking the same method they adopted when they fought the Soviet Union.”
