Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Monday accused Saudi Arabia of committing a "grave crime" by bombing innocents in Yemen.
"Raiding Yemen, uninterrupted bombing of homes, hospitals and schools, and the killing of children are a grave crime of Saudi Arabia, which is done by the supply of the arms and the green light of the United States," he said.
Sayyed Khameni also described the recent negotiations of Saudi Arabia with Israel as a "dagger from the behind" of the world’s Muslims and said that "Saudi relations with Israel are a big sin and a treason."
In building Saudi ties with Israel, "the United States has played a role, as the Saudi officials are obsessed by the whims of the Americans," he said.
The Iranian leader also said that Saudi Arabia has raided Bahrain with the help of the United States.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
