New Delhi: In a desperate effort to worry the United States, terror outfit Islamic State has released a new video taunting America to 'bring it on' claiming that the nation is full of false politicians.

The voice in the video said that America's military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have left the army 'demoralized'.

Pointing out that 6,500 US soldiers commit suicide every year, it claimed that the territory of ISIS is bigger than Britain.

The video, released on Tuesday, purportedly from the ISIS' Al-Hayat Media Center, also claimed that Western troops are weaker than jihadis.

"America, you claim to have the greatest army history has known. You may have the numbers and weapons but your soldiers lack the will and resolve, still scarred from their defeats in Afghanistan and Iraq. They return dead or suicidal, with over 6,500 of them killing themselves each year."

The video also shows the flags of 60 nations the terrorists say are part of a global coalition against the terrorist group.

"Our prophet said (they) would reach 80 in number and then the flames of war will finally burn you on the hills of death. Gather your allies. Plot against us and show us no respite. Our ally is the greatest. He is Allah and all glory goes to him."

"We are men honored with Islam, who climb its peaks to perform jihad, answering the call to unite under one flag. This is the source of our glory: our obedience to our Lord. We are uncompromising in our call to Tawhid (Islamic monotheism). We only call to Allah, unlike the countless deviant factions raising their false banners," the video said.

ISIS also claimed to have supporters in every country in the world.

Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has said there is currently no 'specific and credible' intelligence indicating terrorist plot against the United States.

Obama said that it was understandable that Americans might be nervous following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more. While he encouraged Americans to remain vigilant, he urged people to go about their normal activities.

"While the threat of terrorism is a troubling reality of our age, we are both equipped to prevent attacks and we are resilient in the face of those who would try to do us harm," Obama said.

The United States along with several allies including UK and France has upped its intensity in the fight against ISIS in Syria, especially after the November 13 terror attack in Paris.
