Iran's top political authority also said his country supports the end to the war in Ukraine, but added that the roots of the conflict must be acknowledged.
Khamenei, who spoke in a televised speech, said the Ukraine crisis showed that "the United States cannot be trusted."
In the same speech, Khamenei attacked the LGBTQ community, describing homosexuality as part of the "moral deprivation" widespread in Western civilization.
"There is severe moral deprivation in the world today such as homosexuality and things that one cannot bring oneself to even talk about. Some have rightly called Western civilization a new age of ignorance," Khamenei said.
