Daesh defeat attests to Iran’s power: Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani

Tehran's interim Friday Prayer Leader, Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani has described the fall of the Daesh terrorist group’s self-proclaimed caliphate as a testimony to the influential role of Iran and Hezbollah.

According to reports, addressing the worshippers he said the defeat of Daesh proved the “power of Islam, Iran and Hezbollah” to the US.

The Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani also highlighted the role of Iraqi religious authorities in mobilizing efforts in the fight against Daesh.

The religious scholar further cautioned against the enemy’s future plots.

The liberation of the Syrian town of Al-Bukamal from Daesh on November 19 marked an end to the terrorist group’s caliphate it had declared in 2014.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said the elimination of Daesh Takfiris was a service to all humanity and a blow to the creators and supporters of the terrorist group, including the US.
