Tehran Friday Prayer Leader denounces Saudi state terrorism in Yemen

Tehran’s Provisional Friday Prayer Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi-Kermani said while Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister accuses the Islamic Republic of Iran of interference in Yemen’s internal affairs, Riyadh feels no inhibition in slaughtering Yemeni men, women and children and turning the country into piles of debris, as it continues its state-terrorism in Yemen.

In his Friday Prayer sermons today added that when Saudi officials demand that Syria’s legal head of state, President Bashar al-Assad, should be removed from power, either peacefully or through force, they are blatantly meddling in that country’s affairs.

Ayatollah Movahedi-Kermani blasted the tyrannical regimes of Saudi Arabia and Bahraini, and expressed confidence that the painful cries of the oppressed masses of Yemen and Bahrain will certainly shake the pillars of tyranny and demolish them.

In his sermons, he called on the oppressed people of Yemen and Bahrain to resist against state terrorism of the Aal-e Saud and Aal-e Khalifa regimes.

Addressing the new US President Donald Trump, he said: “You entered the White House with the slogans of serving the nation, reviving the country, saving Americans from hunger and poverty, and not interfering in the affairs of other countries; now you should try to fulfill your promises.”

Movahedi-Kermani advised Trump to adhere to the commitments he has made to the American people, and not to break his promises.

He added: "Don’t make the mistake regarding terrorism, since those who are defending their countries and lives are not terrorists.”

The Ayatollah advised Trump against repeating the blunders of his predecessors by pointing it in his Friday Prayer sermons that the previous US administrations had brought themselves into disgrace by beating war drums, supporting warmongers, and wasting the county’s budget and wealth.
