Khamenei: America and Israel seek to create ‘new Israel’

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Wednesday equated Kurdish independence with the establishment of a “new Israel” in the region.Speaking after a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Tehran and quoted by Reuters, Khamenei said the two countries should prevent Iraq’s Kurdistan region from declaring independence.“Turkey and Iran must take necessary measures against the vote,” Khamenei was quoted as saying.He further claimed the United States and foreign powers planned to create a new Israel in the Middle East by supporting the vote in Kurdistan.“America and Israel benefit from the vote … They want to create a new Israel in the region … The Iraqi Kurdish secession vote is an act of betrayal toward the entire region,” Khamenei said, according to Reuters.“Foreign powers, especially the Zionist regime, seek to build a new Israel in region by sowing discord,” he later tweeted, along with a photo of him and Erdogan.
