Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei lashes out against Saudi Arabia for strengthening US ties
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, speaking at an event marking the first day of Ramadan, accused Saudi Arabia of trading its wealth with “pagans and enemies,” according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
“The stupid Saudi government thinks it can attract the friendship of enemies by giving them money,” he said.
Khamenei added that Saudi Arabia’s rulers faced “certain downfall” for aligning itself with the U.S, Reuters reported.
“They act cordially towards the enemies of Islam while having the opposite behavior towards the Muslim people of Bahrain and Yemen,” he said. “They will face certain downfall.”
