Days after Islamic State (IS) chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in raids carried out by the United States in Syria, Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has said the terror group is shifting its base to Afghanistan.

In an exclusive interview to India Today TV, Zarif said the IS poses a common threat to India, Pakistan, Russia and China. He said these countries need to unite to fight the threat emanating from the terror group.

“The revival of ISIS (also known as Daesh) is the source of common concern between India, Iran and Pakistan. The terror outfit is moving its base from Syria and Iraq to Afghanistan. There are territories within Afghanistan that are of great concern for everyone. The threat is not faced by just one country, but the entire region," Zarif was quoted as saying.
