Killing of Iran’s leader violates moral, international law: Putin
The killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a blatant violation of human moral principles and international law, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
Mr Putin said Mr Khamenei will be remembered in Russia as an outstanding statesman, who helped raise bilateral ties to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership.
The Russian president expressed deep condolences over the killing of Mr Khamenei and members of his family, hoping that his condolences would be conveyed to the family and loved ones of the late Iranian leader, as well as to the government and people of Iran.
Iran’s state media on Sunday confirmed that Mr Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli attacks on Saturday.
