Iranian cleric calls Saudi Arabia the ‘enemy’

Iranian preacher Mohamed Ali Karmani called Saudi Arabia “Iran’s enemy” which will never be considered a friend, and called on officials to pay more attention to Iranian pilgrims who travel to Makkah, Arabi21 reported.

Karmani called on officials responsible for the Hajj to prepare a security plan for Iranian pilgrims. He claimed that Sunni scholars call Iranians and Shias none Muslims and said killing them is acceptable.

Regarding blacklisting Hezbollah, he said that Saudi Arabia paid $2 million to the Arab League in order for it to agree to rule against the movement.

“Considering Hezbollah a terrorist organisation by the Gulf Cooperation Council is something shameful and strange,” he said. “Saudi has recently killed and wounded 120 in its attacks on markets in Yemen. They do not see their crimes and America also does not see their crimes.”

Regarding the latest missile tests, Karmani said Iran is continuing to build its weaponry in spite of American objections.
