Iran Describes US-Led Meeting in Jeddah as ’Show’

The Iranian deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hussein Amir-Abdollahian on Sunday once again reiterated Iran's support for Iraq and Syria.

In an exclusive interview with IRNA, Amir-Abdollahian said that Iran was the first country to help Iraq in the fight against terrorism.

He noted that Iran is seeking a real fight against terrorism and that a double-standard approach towards the issue is not what Iran is looking for.

The Foreign Ministry official termed the US-led meeting recently held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to fight terrorism and ISIL as a show.

He said that participation in such meetings is not important for Iran.
