Giuliani: Iran’s supreme leader a ‘mass murderer’

Former New Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said on Sunday that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a bloodthirsty and brutal dictator, adding that it’s unlikely Iran’s supreme leader will honor a historic nuclear agreement.

{mosads}“The ayatollah, by the way, is a mass murderer,” Giuliani told host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on AM 970 in New York.

“We’re reaching an agreement with a homicidal maniac intent on the destruction of the state of Israel and intent on the destruction of the United States of America,” he said.

“The deal is a very bad deal even if you’re going to make a deal with Iran, which is questionable in the first place,” Giuliani added. “This is a dangerous agreement.”

The former New York mayor said on Sunday he is also skeptical of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Giuliani charged that President Obama has fallen for his Iranian counterpart’s deceptions.

“They present the face of a reformer to Obama and he drinks the Kool-Aid,” he said of Obama’s interactions with Rouhani.

“Rouhani, who poses to the world as a reformer, has executed more people than Ahmadinejad,” Giuliani said, referencing Rouhani’s predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

“This is not a reformer,” he added.

Giuliani additionally said on Sunday that the Iran deal’s terms will improve Tehran’s terrorism funding abilities.

“We’re going to release enormous amounts of money to Iran,” he said. “We’re not getting a penny out of it.”

“They’re the biggest state-sponsor of terrorism in the world,” Giuliani said of Iran.

“They support Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis of Yemen, to name a few,” he added.

The Obama administration announced it had reached a landmark pact with Iran on July 14 from Vienna.

It reduces economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for greater restrictions on its nuclear energy capabilities.

Iran has promised it will allow more frequent atomic inspections and accept caps on its centrifuges and uranium stockpiles as part of the bargain.
