Baku. Suleyman Farzaliyev â€“ APA. Iranâ€™s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei issued a statement in condemnation of the Israeli attack against Flotilla of Freedom humanitarian aid ships, saying that the atrocity was an aggression against world public opinion, Iranian embassy in Azerbaijan told APA. Ayatollah Khamenei said the savage and barbaric attack against the humanitarian fleet was another leaf in the log of massive criminal acts committed by the regime. "That was another example of brutal and impudent conducts endured by regional Muslims, especially the Palestinians ever since decades ago. The fleet represented world public opinion and human conscience worldwide rather than an Islamic or Arab entity alone. The savage attack substantiated the idea that Zionism is a newer and more violent face of Fascism, albeit this time sponsored by human rights â€œadvocatesâ€ particularly the US. America, Britain, France and other European countries which lend diplomatic, propaganda, military and financial support to the instinctually criminal state should be seriously held accountable. Awakened consciences in the world should deliberate how dangerous a phenomenon the humanity faces in the sensitive Middle Eastâ€, said Khamenei.
