As dialogue falters, Khamenei says 'no possibility' of Saudi victory in Yemen
The comments on Twitter by the supreme leader follow the suspension of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticized Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen in a Twitter flurry Tuesday night.
Khamenei told Saudi Arabia via Twitter to cease its involvement in Yemen’s civil war, saying he made the comments out of “good will” towards the Gulf kingdom.
“I have a word with the Saudis, and I give this counsel out of good will for them. Why are you continuing a war you're certain you won’t win? Find a way out of this war. #Yemen,” Khamenei tweeted.
A few minutes later, he posted, “Is there even a possibility that the Saudis would win the war in #Yemen? There's no possibility. With the endeavors, initiative and courage of the Yemeni people and leaders, there's no possibility of you winning.”
