MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A US-led coalition of over 60 countries has been bombing Daesh positions without Damascus' or UN approval since August 2014.

Most recently, a group of 34 Muslim nations from the Middle East, Africa and Asia announced the creation of a new anti-Daesh coalition last December in a bid to tackle Islamic extremism. The force is led by Saudi Arabia.

"Iran, Syria [government], the Syrian army and Hezbollah are helping in the fight against terrorism in Syria, while other coalitions that were formed to combat terrorism and Daesh are doing nothing," Abdollahian said.
