Times have changed.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei denounced the US for its fake concerns about human rights, saying one of the Islamic Republic’s main policies is to discredit the American government which is even worse than Daesh (ISIL) terrorists.

One of Iran’s fundamental polices is to “stand against cruelty and corruption at the international level and to discredit it,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in a gathering of Iranian Air Force and Air Defense personnel in Tehran on Thursday.

“Today, the US government is the cruelest and most merciless system in the world, which is even worse than the savage Daesh members,” the Leader added.
