Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani described the US-led coalition against ISIL terrorist group as a "political joke", and said Tehran will not cooperate in such a fake coalition, FARS news agency reported.

"The US president has said that they along with their regional allies will uproot terrorism in the world which is a ridiculous political jokes," Larijani said, addressing an open session of the parliament in Tehran on Wednesday.

He underscored that terrorism cannot be uprooted with airstrikes, adding that the air attacks will have two consequences; firstly, killing and displacing the people who live in the bombed regions; secondly, displaying the ineffectiveness of the US resort to power.

"These US attacks will spread terrorism, as the bombings in Afghanistan didn’t uproot terrorism and, rather, helped the terrorists' coming in control and spread in other countries," Larijani said.

He condemned the US and other western states' moves in the region, and said, "We have opposed terrorism in the region since the beginning and will really fight against it but we don’t cooperate with the fake coalitions as we don’t see them legitimate."

After the so-called US-led coalition against the ISIL declared its creation, Iran lashed out at the western states for pursuing a double-standard policy towards campaign against terrorism in various countries.
