ISIS terrorists are trying to revive so-called caliphate

Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi said on Tuesday that Daesh (ISIS) is still alive and is trying to revive its so-called caliphate in other countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.

Speaking at a seminar on terrorism, Alavi said although terrorist groups’ rule in Iraq and Syria has come to an end, they still exist, ISNA reported.

The minister described Daesh as a misrepresentation of the teachings of Islam.

He also said extremism in any religion and faith would lead to “irrational” and “abnormal” movements such as terrorism.
