Tehran: Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei harshly criticized “cancerous” Israel on Monday, a day after its premier Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the planned passage of Iranian warships through the Suez Canal.“The fake Zionist government is a cancerous tumour and the cause of different diseases and political, economic calamity in the region,” the commander-in-chief of Iran told officials while marking the anniversary of the birth of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) at a gathering of Shiite and Sunni scholars in Tehran for an international conference on Islam.
“The (US) arrogance is doing its best to preserve this war-mongering tumour, but today the hatred of regional nations towards this cancerous tumor is more evident,” state television quoted him as saying.
An Iranian diplomat earlier said the warships’ was a routine visit in line with cooperation between Iran and Syria.
