TEHRAN – Pointing to a recent decision by the Trump administration to withdraw all its forces from Syria, the deputy head of the Iranian Army’s Center for Strategic Studies has said Washington has no way other than escaping from the region.

“The U.S. is really desperate and has no way other than escaping from the region,” Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Nami said, Tasnim reported on Saturday.

He also said the Americans themselves have created the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group, adding that Daesh got into trouble more than 19 times, and each time the U.S. provided them with needed weapons and equipment.
