TEHRAN: Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei Monday criticized certain regional countries for sponsoring the extremist groups and the atrocities they commit in Syria, warning that such policy will eventually backfire.
By offering assistance to the Takfiri groups, some regional countries are now supporting their killings and crimes in Syria and in a number of other countries, Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with visiting Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, in Tehran on Monday.
The leader, however, warned against the grave consequences of backing extremists and terrorists, saying the very same groups will ensnare their supporters in the not too far future.
Eventually, Ayatollah Khamenei added, the sponsors of these groups will have to wipe them out by spending high costs.
Elsewhere in the meeting, Irans supreme leader emphasized the necessity for healthy relations among the whole regional countries, stressing that security of the region depends on good and healthy ties among the neighbors.
The Kuwaiti emir, for his part, said his country is fully prepared to open up a new chapter in relations with Iran.
Mentor & Guide
Sabah also praised Ayatollah Khamenei as a mentor and guide for the entire region, and agreed on the Leaders emphasis on unity among the regional states and the need for countering extremism.
The Kuwaiti ruler, heading a high-ranking delegation, is in Iran for a landmark official visit to hold talks with Iranian authorities.
The emirs visit to the Islamic Republic is his first since he became the ruler of Kuwait in 2006.
He is the second Arab ruler in the six-member Persian Gulf Cooperation Council to travel to Iran this year. The first was Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said of Oman.
