Nowhere in the Quran is Iblis called an Angel

I do agree with him, Surah Baqarah, he’s calling the verse of the Quran from Surah Baqarah, chapter number two, verse number 34 we told to the angels, bow down. All bow down, except Iblis. This is mentioned not only in Surah Baqarah. It is mentioned minimum seven times in the Quran, Surah Baqarah. It is mentioned minimum seven times in the Quran,

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam" and they bowed down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: He was of those who reject Faith.
[2:34]

Surah Al Araf Chapter Number 7 Verse 11, Surah Al Hijr, Chapter Number 15 Verse 30, Surah Al Kahf Chapter 18 Verse 50, Same thing we told to the angels, bow down. All bow down, except Iblis. So now Iblis objected.

So from this, we come to know that Iblis, if we read the translation, we understand That Iblis are angel, we think. But if you read in Surah Kahf, chapter number 18, verse number 50, it says that we asked to the angels, bow down. All bow down, except Iblis. Iblis was amongst the jinn.
