Iran's Supreme Leader on Tuesday said that the US harbors terrorists on the country's western borders. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei spoke of enemy plans to destabilize the Iranian government from behind the western borders.
"The United States is promoting terrorism behind [Iran's] western frontiers... They [the US government] directly finance operations and organize terrorist movements to undermine the Islamic Republic," Ayatollah Khamenei said on Tuesday, according to Press TV.
"We have information that Americans have evil plans for Kordestan... They're not planning to defend the rights of the Kurdish people but their aim is to dominate the Kurds and sow seeds of discord among them," he said.
"Our Kurdish friends on the other side of the border have told us that US officers are paying the Kurdish youth on the Qandil hills in exchange for information," the Iranian leader continued. "They pay money to create mercenaries. That is below the dignity of Kurdish youth," Ayatollah Khamenei added.
