Criticizing the importation of large quantities of US arms from specific Muslim countries, he said, 'These weapons are either going into the hands of militant groups or are being used against other Muslim countries.
The Iranian president pointed to the anti-humanity activities of the radical Takfiri terrorist group Daesh.

Therefore, economic and cultural poverty must be removed first from Muslim countries.'
