Christiane Amanpour in an interview that aired Friday.
"It is a common threat for all of us," he said. "And this requires a unison effort from all of us."
"We need a vast campaign
of operations ... the aerial bombardment campaign is mostly, I would
say, a form of theater, rather than a serious battle against terrorism."
Iran and the United
States have found their foreign policies surprisingly aligned in the
past several months, as both try to beat back the advance of the Sunni
extremists that have gained a foothold in Iraq and war-torn Syria.
While the United States
has limited itself thus far to airstrikes in those two countries, Iran
has sent Revolutionary Guard units into Iraq; the head of the
Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, Qassem Suleimani, has even been
photographed on the ground in Iraq.
Five Gulf countries,
traditional adversaries of Shiite Iran, joined with the United States in
a rare coalition to strike ISIS in Syria.
However, Rouhani said
he'd like to distance himself "from the word 'coalition' because some
countries haven't come together under the umbrella of this coalition."
