TEHRAN, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Iran's supreme leader on Wednesday strongly denounced western countries during an Eid al-Fitr celebration, saying they are creators of terrorism and should be responsible for recent terror attacks.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lashed out at the West when addressing prayers celebrating Eid al-Fitr in central Tehran, a major Muslim holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Terrorism in the Muslim World is a phenomenon created by the intelligence services of some Western countries, Khamenei said, warning that they are not immune from the repercussions of terrorist acts either.
He also expressed regret over a number of attacks in some Muslim countries which claimed hundreds of innocent lives.
Several deadly terrorist attacks claimed by Islamic State occurred in the month of Ramadan. A suicide bombing in Baghdad over the weekend has left at least 250 people dead and serial terrorist attacks in three Saudi Arabian cities caused 7 deaths.
