Donald Trump has used his latest campaign rally to accuse Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama of being responsible for the rise of Daesh, The Guardian reported Sunday.

Speaking in Biloxi, Mississippi, the Republican presidential hopeful implied that the Obama administration should have heeded his call for the US to seize oil assets controlled by Daesh but had instead allowed the terror group to prosper.

"I've predicted a lot of things, you have to say, including, 'Get the oil, take the oil, keep the oil.' Right? I've been saying that for three years, and everybody said, 'Oh, I can't do that. I mean, this is a sovereign country'. There is no country!" Trump said.

"They've created Daesh. Hillary Clinton created Daesh with Obama," Trump added.

Trump also accused Iran of wanting to take over its neighbour, Saudi Arabia, after the execution of 47 Shia prisoners in the country, including the prominent cleric Sheikh Nimr al Nimr

"In Tehran, they're burning down the Saudi embassy, you see that?" Trump said as he opened his remarks. "Now, what that is is Iran wants to take over Saudi Arabia. They always have. They want the oil, OK? They've always wanted that."

He made no comment at the rally about an al Shabaab propaganda video, released on Friday, which featured footage of him calling for Muslims to be banned from the US.
