Iran Press/ America: US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price on Wednesday claimed that the "US believes al Qaeda leader Seif al-Adel is based in Iran."
The official Twitter account of the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations in New York in a message said that "This misinformation could potentially hinder efforts to combat terrorism."
The tweet said that the global network of al-Qaeda was dismantled after the death of Osama Bin Laden also its extremist ideology persists.
Iran's mission in the UN also added that the emergence of ISIS has taken the place of Al-Qaeda and has given rise to a new form of terrorism.
The tweet of Iran's mission in the UN said that the "US claim about the so-called newly appointed Al-Qaeda leader is incorrect and misinformation.
The US claims on Saif al-Adel, 62, a former Egyptian special forces lieutenant-colonel and figure in the old guard of Al-Qaeda and his presence in Iran is also in contradiction with the UN's latest report on Al Qaida as it says that "the Sunni Islamist Al-Qaeda is sensitive to the Shiite country of Iran.
According to many facts, global leaders believe that Iran is a leading force in fighting terrorism including Al-Qaida and recently ISIS in the region.
