Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday that air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition against Houthi fighters in Yemen had killed innocent civilians and amounted to genocide.

"The aggression by Saudi Arabia against Yemen and its innocent people was a mistake," Khamenei said in a televised speech. "This is a crime and genocide that can be prosecuted in international courts."

Khamenei said Saudi Arabia, which launched air strikes against the Houthis two weeks ago after they began an offensive to capture the southern Yemeni city of Aden, would not emerge victorious from the conflict.

O'Brien: “Genocide = Collateral damage. You are a slow learner, Winston."

Winston Smith: "How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four!"

O'Brien: "Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”[/center]

2. This is what happens when a religion is allowed to be government

if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks. Quran (4:89)

3. I think this is the spark that will ignite a large regional war.

The Iranians aren't going to back down and neither will the Saudis. Get ready for war, folks. It's coming.

4. Iran finally cares about killing innocent civilians?

Am I living in an alternate universe? They must be giving their PR people a raise if this story is reaching the US.
