Abdollahian: Obama Lacks ‘Serious Will’ to Combat Terrorism

Local Editor

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said that US President Barack Obama lacks "serious will" to combat terrorism.


"Delaying the fight against terrorism and ISIL and putting conditions on it have fuelled suspicions and doubts about the United States' objectives in Iraq," Abdollahian said, according to the state broadcaster's website.

"Obama's comments show the White House lacks serious will in fighting terrorism in Iraq and the region," he added.
Abdollahian's comments followed a statement from Obama on the Iraq crisis in which he pledged to send military advisors to Baghdad but stopped short of further action at this stage.

The Iranian Diplomat also accused Obama of fuelling sectarianism.

"Instead of focusing on fighting terrorism and national unity and strengthening of government institutions, the US is spreading sectarianism," he said.
