Khamenei: How can an Islamic country become a 'milking cow' for the U.S. Custodians of the Two Holy Mosques should act as Custodians of the Believers; they should be "stern on infidels, and merciful among themselves". But they're stern on Yemen and on Bahrain. This causes divine wrath.
Khamenei: The crime the Al-Saud is committing in usurping Yemen will be detrimental to themselves. It's been about 4 years that they're committing crimes in Yemen. They thought they would overcome Yemen in a few weeks, but the more they move on, the heavier the blow they will receive.
Khamenei: Look at US officials today. Look at their greed for money, trampling the Truth and disregarding humans' lives. Yemen is 1 example: Saudis commit the crime but U.S. is complicit; they admit it. They bomb hospitals, markets, and public places. They're criminals. This is U.S.'s face.
