Iran Press/ America: "Presently, the overall number of Islamic State remnants and their affiliates in Syria amounts to approximately 3,000 people," Sputnik quoted Kuzmin as telling a UN Security Council meeting.
"Furthermore, in Syria, there is a multitude of other terrorist groups that are present, the most combat-ready of which is still Jabhat al Nusra (also known as al-Nusra Front)," the envoy added.
Even though US-led forces retook all territories occupied by Daesh (also known as ISIS) terrorists in Syria and Iraq earlier this year, the terror group is still present in the region and has claimed responsibility for sporadic attacks.
