Kanaani continued, “The statements made by former US President Donald Trump and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the role of this country in the creation of ISIS contradict Biden’s statements in this area,” noting that “the previous US government killed a hero of the struggle.” against ISIS and Takfiri terrorism, martyr Qassem Soleimani, former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Al-Quds Detachment, is the largest American aid to ISIS terrorists.

Asia”, noting that “Americans fully support this entity.” This points to the falsity of his statements about the world.
An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that “what was mentioned in the latest article by US President Joe Biden is a one-sided and unrealistic description of the US government’s policy in the West Asia region. If US officials want to bring peace, stability, and security to the region and the world, they better understand the facts.” To avoid attempts to impose American values and unilateralism, and to allow the countries of the region to work on the basis of their values, interests and realities to ensure their security and collective interests through regional cooperation.
