RNA - "Today, the western governments want to annihilate our capabilities and have started a major Irano-phobia project while we have announced many times that our (military) activities are defensive and we do not intend to invade any country," Amoli Larijani said, addressing a forum also participated by the government and parliamentary officials in Tehran on Tuesday.
"The westerners have promoted the Irano-phobia project and add fuel to its fire so that they can find access to the resources of the rich regional states and pump them like milking cows," he added.
According to Fars News Agancy, in relevant remarks in 2017, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei blasted the Saudi rulers for allowing the US to loot their country.
"The Saudi rulers are too harsh on Muslims, yet kind to the disbelievers. They are giving special handouts to the US. To whom does all this wealth belong? This is the nation’s (Saudi people's) wealth, which they give away to disbelievers and their people's enemies. The fools actually think they can gain the friendship of Islam's enemies by providing them with money and assistance. There is no friendship there; as they say themselves, they are "milking them" like cattle. They oppress their own people in this manner, and oppress the people of Yemen and Bahrain in other ways. But they are going to perish," he said.
Speaking further on controversies surrounding the Saudi Monarchy he continued, "No one should be deceived by this facade. They are on the wrong side; so, they will certainly perish. They might stay for some time; it depends on how the believers of the community take action. If they act correctly, it will happen sooner. If they don’t (react), it might take longer."
