RNA – Addressing Iranian teachers in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei dismissed recent US military threats against Iran and said the Islamic Republic will not leave any acts of aggression unanswered, according to Press TV.

Ayatollah Khamenei added the US’ need for nuclear talks is not less than Iran’s, if not more.

The Leader urged the Iranian negotiating delegation to observe the country’s red lines and not to cave in to the opposite side’s imposition of ideas, humiliation or threats during the course of the talks.

Saudi war on Yemen

The Leader condemned the Saudi military aggression against Yemen as unjustifiable.

Ayatollah Khamenei also denounced as disgraceful the US support for major crimes that Saudi Arabia is committing in Yemen, saying Washington provided Riyadh with military and intelligence backup in its military aggression against the impoverished Arab country.

The Leader also denounced Saudi Arabia’s blockade of Iran’s aid shipment to Yemen, saying the Islamic Republic only wanted to send medical supplies to Yemen, adding that the Yemenis do not need Iran’s arms.
