Iran says Paris anti-jihadist meeting just for show

Tehran (AFP) - Iran said Saturday it has no wish to attend an international conference in Paris next week on fighting the jihadist Islamic State group, dismissing the meeting as just for show.

"What would interest Iran is a real fight against terrorism in the region and around the world, not this selective one," he said."We have no interest in taking part in this counter-terrorism conference in Paris which has a selective guest list and is just for show," deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told state television.

Iran has not been invited to Monday's meeting in Paris, amid US resistance to involving Tehran in the regional coalition it has been building among regional states to fight the jihadists in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
