Leader: U.S. Milking Saudis Like Cattle

TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Saudi Arabia is being pumped like a milking cow by the U.S. after President Donald Trump clinched a $110 billion military deal with the kingdom.
"Today the Muslim world, like all other societies, is in grave danger. Among the Muslim world, a group of worthless, inept and villainous people are ruling over a community of the Muslim nation, namely the Saudi government, and reason lies in refusal to follow the Qur’an and lack of belief in the truth. For pretence, they publish and distribute the Qur’an for free,” the Leader said on Saturday night.
"The Saudi rulers are too harsh on Muslims, yet kind to the disbelievers. They are giving special handouts to the U.S. To whom does all this wealth belong? This is the (Saudi) nation’s wealth, which they give away to disbelievers and their people's enemies,” the Leader said.
"The fools actually think they can gain the friendship of Islam's enemies by providing them with money and assistance. There is no friendship there; as they say themselves, they are milking them like cattle. They oppress their own people in this manner, and oppress the people of Yemen and Bahrain in other ways. But they are going to perish,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
Speaking further on the controversies surrounding the Saudi monarchy, the Leader said, "No one should be deceived by this facade. They are on the wrong side; so, they will certainly perish. They might stay for some time; it depends on how the believers of the community take action. If they act correctly, it will happen sooner. If they don’t, it might take longer.”
Ayatollah Khamenei declared that the future belongs to Islam, the Qur’an, and the faithful young.
"God has promised that the future belongs to the believers and those who fight in His way. Even if this divine promise did not exist, the experiences of the Iranian nation, during the last four decades, prove this to be true and logical."
The Leader reminded the audience of the Iranian nation's victory over the eight-year imposed war.
"Our nation triumphed during the eight-year war as the underdog. Our nation, though a novice in political and international issues, prevailed over the conspiracies of our enemy. Our nation has been standing in front of a powerful, wealthy opponent, and its aggression. These experiences prove that the path towards a successful, powerful, and glorious development is based on a deep connection with the holy Qur’an.”
During a visit by President Donald Trump to Riyadh on May 21, Saudi Arabia agreed to buy $110 billion of U.S. weapons and signed investment deals worth billions more.
Trump sought to boost an anti-Iran alliance of Arab powers during his trip -- but the visit was dismissed as a "show with no practical or political value" by Iran's newly re-elected President Hassan Rouhani.
