Iran's leader says Islamic countries should 'prevent the sending of oil, fuel, and goods to Israel'

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday has issued a fresh call for countries to launch an economic boycott of Israel, reports say.

"It is the duty of the Islamic countries to prevent the sending of oil, fuel, and goods to Israel," he said, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Khamenei has made similar claims in the past.

"What the Islamic governments should insist is an immediate halt to the crimes [the Israelis] are committing in Gaza. The bombardments should immediately stop," Khamenei was quoted by Iranian state media as saying in early November, according to The Associated Press. "They should block the flow of oil and food to the Zionist regime. Islamic governments shouldn’t have economic cooperation with the Zionist regime."
