Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday issued a message expressing his condolences to the Iranian nation on the terrorist operations in Iraq which killed or wounded hundreds of civilians including tens of Iranians. According to IRNA, the Iranian leader referred to the US as the main accused of the terrorist operations in Iraq, saying the US forces, under the false pretext of fight against terrorism have occupied the Islamic Iraq.
“The main accused in this crime and other crimes are the US security and military forces that have occupied an Islamic state under the pretext of campaign against terrorism and have killed or wounded tens of thousands of people so far and have intensified insecurity there,” his message reiterated.
Khamenei noted in his message that Washington is the root cause of all terrorist operations in Iraq, stressing that the US and Israeli intelligence services are the primary accused ones in those regards. "Iran expects the Iraqi government to seriously counter such crimes and fully provide the security of the pilgrims of the holy sites in that country," he emphasized.
