Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh lashed out at the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday, calling the US to end its crimes in the region.

In a tweet, the Iranian diplomat addressed Pompeo by saying: “It is better to end your crimes and malign presence in our region.”

“The US has underwritten 5yrs of Saudi-led slaughter in Yemen. Its abuse of diplo cover is also notorious: just ask ex-spymaster @SecPompeo,” Khatibzadeh tweeted.

“US is thus in NO position to lecture Yemenis & Iranians abt their bilat ties. Better to end your crimes & malign presence in our region,” the spokesman added.
