A former member of UK Prime Minister David Cameron's Cabinet has said that in order to defeat the terror group ISIS, the West must support the forces of moderation in Iraq and the Middle East.
Rt Hon. David Jones MP wrote in The Diplomat on Tuesday: "It is illusory to believe that allowing Tehran to take the lead in the fight against ISIS will ultimately lead to a stable Iraq."
"There should be no doubt in the West that Tehran is using its proxies to compete with ISIS for dominance in Iraq, Syria and the wider Middle East. Iran has absolutely no interest in defeating and degrading the Islamic fundamentalism that is threatening the region.
