Ayatollah: Countries Who Attack Iran 'Will Be Hit Multiple Times'

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, criticized U.S. policies and Iran's enemies in messages on his website and Twitter, The Times of Israel reported.

"They know if they enter military conflict with Iran, they will be hit multiple times,” Khamenei said during a meeting with workers, The Times of Israel reported.

In a series of tweets posted Monday, Khamenei said the U.S. must leave the region.

"Wherever U.S. entered, it created instability, brought misery to people; that's why U.S.'s feet must be cut off from West Asia, U.S. must exit this region,” Khamenei tweeted.

U.S. officials agitate Saudis, creating discord and chaos in West Asia. Why don't you agitate the Zionists? Because they want to turn Muslims against one another; thus, avoiding the burden of an outcome from confronting the Islamic Republic and the powerful Iranian nation.
