Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian also was quoted today by Iranian media as saying Iran warned Washington that Israel's security will be at risk should the US and its allies seek to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad in the name of fighting the extremist group.
Iran has backed Assad during Syria's three-year civil war.
The US has called for Assad to resign and rules out cooperating with his government in the fight against the Islamic State group.
