Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei: Saudis Extended Hand of Friendship to Enemies of Islam

Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said the United States is complicit in the crimes the Saudi regime has been committing in a years-long war against the people of Yemen.

Addressing the families of Iranian martyrs in a meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Imam Khamenei pointed out to the Saudi regime’s failures in the war it has been waging against Yemen with Washington’s support.

The Leader said the Saudis have extended a hand of friendship to the enemies of Islam.

“They (the Saudis) thought they would gain control [of Yemen] in a matter of days or weeks. [But] the farther they go, the harder they will fall down and the more stinging will be the blow that they will receive,” the Leader noted.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Imam Khamenei pointed to Washington’s long-running enmity towards the Iranian nation.

“If you want to know America’s true face, look at its current president and statesmen because they have vividly and openly laid bare the ugly and hateful face that is typical of American statesmen,” the Leader said.

Ayatollah Khamenei meanwhile, urged the Iranian nation and authorities to remember that the US will never stop plotting against the Islamic Republic, emphasizing that the Israeli regime and the reactionary regional states are in cahoots with Washington in its hostile agenda against Iran.

The Leader, however, asserted, “Of course, we are stronger. They have not managed to do anything so far, and will never be able to do a damn thing either.”
