1st LD: Iran's leader says Saudi-led coalition committed "mistake" in bombing Yemen

Xinhua, April 9, 2015 Adjust font size:

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday that the Saudi-led coalition has committed a big "mistake" in bombing Yemen.

The Iranian leader compared the Saudi-led raid on Yemen to the Israeli attacks on Gaza Strip in the past, saying that this action is "a crime and genocide which can be prosecuted internationally."

"Killing of children, destroying the houses, the infrastructures and the wealth of a country is a grave crime," he was quoted as saying by his official website.

"For sure, the Saudis will face loss in this issue (attack on Yemen) and will never will come out victorious," he added. Endit
