Ali Akbar Velayati: S.Arabia plotting terrorism in Muslim states

A senior Iranian official says Saudi Arabia is plotting acts of terrorism in Muslim countries on behalf of the United States and its Western allies.

“On behalf of the US and West, Saudi Arabia is masterminding and sponsoring terrorism in Muslim countries,” Ali Akbar Velayati, a top adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said on Tuesday.

He pointed to Saudi Arabia’s military aggression on Yemen, saying the US is backing the illegal aggression by remaining silent.

Yemen has been under military strikes by Saudi Arabia on a daily basis since March 26. The strikes are supposedly meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

According to a new tally, at least 7,000 people have lost their lives in the Saudi strikes, and a total of nearly 14,000 people have been injured since March.
