Alwaght-A senior Iranian military commander has condemned as a “strategic mistake” Turkey’s recent attacks against Kurdish forces, who are fighting against the ISIS Takfiri terror group.
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi made the comments on Wednesday, warning that the Turkish military’s recent attack against anti-ISIS Kurdish forces strengthens the access of Takfiri extremists to Turkey’s frontiers.
He said Turkey should be worried about its own nation in the face of ISIS’s “satanic conduct” and those supporting the terror organization, including the “Zionists and the United states.”
Firouzabadi's comments come after Turkish tanks reportedly shelled four Kurdish-held villages in northern Syria late on Sunday, injuring four fighters of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).
The senior Iranian military official further criticized Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar for providing support to Takfiri terrorists, stressing that such a policy will “sooner or later” backfire and endanger their own security.
Firouzabadi further advised Ankara, Riyadh and Doha not to count too much on their “alliance with ISIS,” stressing that the Takfiri terror group eyes ruling the entire Islamic countries, and that the three Muslim states are no exceptions.
Turkey recently launched airstrikes allegedly against the bases of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in northern Iraq as well ISIS positions in Syria after a deadly bomb attack which left 32 people dead in the southwestern town of Suruç, across the border from the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani.
Syria says there is enough evidence showing takfiri terrorists in the country get military and financial support Turkey as well as its Western and regional allies, including the Israeli regime, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
