Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday the United States — which, in addition to being one of his country’s chief adversaries, has led the push to punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government over chemical weapons — has no right to make “humanitarian claims (given) their track record” in Iraq, Afghanistan and at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The turmoil in the Middle East, Iran’s leader said in remarks reported by state-run Press TV, is a “reaction of the global arrogance” that is rooted Washington. Should the United States and allies strike Syria, he added, it won’t be able to “eliminate (the) resistance.”
