Dividing Iraq into regions based on ethnic and religious affiliation is impossible, pointless and intolerable, Iran's Supreme Leader said on Sunday.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke out in favor of Iraq's territorial integrity on Saturday, in a series of Tweets focusing on foreign policy.

Blaming instability in the Middle East on terrorist groups, the US and Israel, the Ayatollah affirmed that such trends completely contradict Iran's policy.

Khamenei also singled out Saudi Arabia for its hypocrisy over Yemen and Syria, in which the Kingdom militarily supports Yemen's ousted president yet opposes the legitimate President Assad in Syria.

Iran's Supreme Leader also called for an "immediate end to Saudi crimes" in Yemen, and the beginning of a dialogue to settle the country's conflicts.
