Iran President: People of Ukraine Falling Victim to Evil Policies of US

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi says the people of Ukraine have fallen victim to the United States’ evil policies, reiterating the Islamic Republic’s opposition to war.

Raeisi made the remarks in a Sunday address at a cabinet meeting, during which he touched on a host of issues, including regional developments and the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine.

“The people of Ukraine, like the people of Afghanistan, Yemen and Iraq, have fallen victim to the United States’ evil policies,” Iran’s president said.

Raeisi added, “As declared by Leader [of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei], the Islamic Republic of Iran is definitively opposed to war and the sooner this war ends, it will be to benefit of the region and nations and it will do less harm to and cause less problems for people.”

Speaking in a televised speech on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei blamed the American regime for the current Ukraine crisis, and demanded an end to the war in Ukraine, saying the Islamic Republic of Iran has always opposed war and destruction anywhere in the world.
