TEHRAN, Nov 30_Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, says US leaders’ unauthorized trips to regional countries insult the freedom and independence of nations.

Ayatollah Khamenei blasts Americans for unauthorized trips to regional statesTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_Americans come [to the region] and enter a country like Iraq without any permission, do not visit the country’s government, do not go to the country’s capital; they have bases there, and just go to their own base,” Ayatollah Khamenei's official website tweeted. 

“This means they officially insult the freedom of nations and the independence of nation,” the tweet added.

The comments were posted on Ayatollah Khamenei’s Twitter account early Friday, apparently in a fresh reaction to US President Donald Trump’s unannounced visit to Afghanistan on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the former Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan in early 1980s, and recalled that Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, had ordered the Iranian government to summon the Soviet ambassador over the illegal entry.

“At that time, the world said ‘you are countering the United States, do not confront the USSR for now’, but the Imam did not accept such a point of view,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
