Irans Expediency Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaie said earlier that Tehran was ready to provide Ankara with necessary information regarding Daesh oil trade with Turkey.
Iranian military advisors inSyria have taken photos and filmed all the routes used byISIL's oil tankers toTurkey. If the Turkish authorities are unaware ofthe Daesh oil sales intheir country, then we can provide them withsuch intelligence, Rezaie told reporters onFriday.
Talking toSputnik Persian inan exclusive interview, Iranian diplomat and analyst Seyed Hadi Afghahi said, It is important topoint outa few key points. Firstly, it is important tounderstand whether it is sure that the purchase byTurkey ofDaeshs stolen oil was carried outwith the full knowledge ofPresident Erdogan, his son and son inlaw.
He further said that asevidence there have been two sets ofdocuments. The first was presented atthe press conference ofthe Ministry ofDefense ofRussia, where all the details have been made public such assnapshots and videos that clearly and conclusively prove what was said. These materials do not cause any doubts abouttheir authenticity. The reaction ofErdogan and Turkish authorities can say one thing: they were stunned and shocked that Moscow has such evidence. This significantly affected the position ofTurkey's NATO allies.
The analyst also said that it is not a secret that our military advisers and trainers are inthe immediate vicinity ofthe event. Our experts are involved inoperations inthree areas: strategic, tactical and informational. They are incontact withtheir Russian counterparts. Through the efforts ofour countries (Russia, Iran, Syria, Iraq) the Information Centre forthe fight againstterrorists and Daesh was established.
In addition, our experts are working closely withthe Syrian army, the soldiers ofthe Lebanese Hezbollah inthe conduct ofthe fight againstterrorists. Therefore, any exchange ofintelligence betweenour military agencies, and ways tomonitor traffic oftrucks withcontraband oil, heading inthe direction ofTurkey, is gathered inphotographs and videos.
Aghahi said that if Turkish President Erdogan continues todeny this fact, they will provide more irrefutable hard evidence such asphotos, GPS navigation ofthe oil convoys and videos.
The expert also pointed outthat the most striking proof ofTurkey's cooperation withDaesh is the destruction ofthe Russian Su-24 military aircraft bya Turkish fighter, inSyria, not inTurkey. So the materials that prove Turkey's cooperation withDaesh are a matter ofhonor forIran and Russia.
It is time forErdogan tostop his attacks, renounce his ambitions and resign. Especially because today even Western leaders condemn the actions ofErdogan and publicly declare that there are direct oil deals betweenTurkey and Daesh. In particularly, this was said bythe US finance minister, Afghahi said.
Germany also condemned the actions ofAnkara. The immensely ambitious policy ofPresident Erdogan fundamentally damaged relations withmany countries. Ankaras actions ranging fromthe downed Russian plane, disrespectful remarks againstthe Iranian authorities, and the illegal invasion byTurkish tanks inthe territory ofanother state Iraq, all point tothe fact that Erdogan is trying toignite flames ofnew war inthe already unstable region, Afghahi concluded.
