The United States and its regional allies have failed to “act decisively” against the ISIL Takfiri terrorists, a political analyst says.

Hooshidar Daragahi, an anti-war activist, told Press TV that the US-led anti-ISIL coalition remains indecisive on “effectively eliminating” ISIL.

He went on to say that the US-led coalition was either “unable or unwilling” to strike ISIL positions “very hardly” near Syria’s border town of Kobani, which has seen an ongoing battle between ISIL and Kurdish fighters recently.

The commentator also criticized the Turkish government and said Ankara is pursuing “a miserable politics” regarding the current issues in the region.

Kobani is close to Syria’s border with Turkey.

The government in Ankara has incurred widespread public anger by neither taking any action against the Takfiri militants nor allowing its Kurdish population to cross the border to help the Syrian Kurds in their battle to defend the strategic town.

The analyst also stated that many of those countries involved in the US-led coalition are the ones that also supported ISIL.

The United States says it is striking ISIL positions in both Iraq and Syria, but there is skepticism on both sides of the border about the real objective of the airstrikes.

Daragahi stated that the allied coalition is made up of certain countries such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which have been backing and funding the terrorists.

The analyst concluded that dividing the terrorists into good and bad by the United States and its allies, namely Turkey, casts doubt on the claim of fighting terrorism.
