Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Saudi Arabias killing of Yemenis is "the worst type of terrorism."
Terrorism is not limited to terror acts committed by some unofficial groups, and mass killings of people by certain governments, such as the Saudi attack on people in a mourning procession in Yemen, which left hundreds killed and injured, are the worst type of terrorism,the Leader said in a meeting with visiting Finnish President Sauli Niinist in Tehran on Wednesday.

These governments calculate all issues based on their own interests, and they do not think about eradicating the malady of terrorism in Iraq or Syria,the Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei further criticized UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moons failure to condemn the Saudi war on Yemen.
The UN secretary general said explicitly that it is not possible for the body to condemn the killing of Yemeni children as the UN depends on the Saudi governments money, the Leader said, stressing that this approach is indicative of the deplorable moral state of politicians at the helm of international organizations.
