Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, met in Tehran with the Secretary of National Security Council of Tajikistan, Mohammadali Vatanzadeh. Shamkhani welcomed Tajikistan as a bilateral partner, “emphasizing the cooperation of the two countries in the fight against the threat of renewal and growing of ISIL in the region.”
Shamkhani, in typical Islamic supremacist style, blamed the US (commonly called the “Great Satan” by Iran) and Israel (the “Zionist regime” and the “Little Satan”) for the problems of the Muslim world:
Promoting ISIL Islam is one of the strategies of the US and the Zionist regime to spread Islam phobia and create conflict, war, and crisis in the Islamic countries of the region, he highlighted.
Shamkhani falls short of telling it like it is. The Islamic State followed the directives of the Qur’an and Hadith. Its genocidal persecution of Christians and other religious minorities, as well as other Islamic abuses, is well known, as are the woes of the E.U. since it opened its doors to mass Muslim migration. By now, the world should have caught on to the “Islamophobia” canard.
The second session of the Regional Security Dialogue with a focus on Afghanistan began in “Tehran on Wednesday with the participation of high-ranking security officials from Iran, Russia, China, India, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.” Troubling.

Vatanzadeh, for his part, said that the second Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan is an important event of cooperation on one of the region’s most significant security challenges.
Referring to Tajikistan’s long shared border with Afghanistan, he said that insecurity in Afghanistan has an impact on Tajik national security, adding that an extremist terrorist group should not be allowed to destabilize Afghanistan’s security and make the region insecure.
