Iran's Parliament Speaker calls US international version of ISIS

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani called the US the "international” version of the ISIS group and said Washington had exchanged democracy for money, a reference to a recent huge arms deal between the US and Saudi Arabia.

He said anti-Iranian remarks by Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister and US President Donald Trump are a "matter of disgrace" for them, the Washington Post reported.

Larijani also criticized a Wednesday decision by the US Senate to move forward on a new set of sanctions against Iran, including its elite Revolutionary Guards, a move that came on the same day as the Tehran attacks.
