Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday the war in Ukraine should be stopped and accused the United States, which he called a 'mafia-like regime,' of creating the conflict.
Iran's top political authority also said the roots of the conflict must be acknowledged.
"Basically, the U.S. regime creates crises, lives off of crises and feeds on various crises in the world. Ukraine is another victim of this policy," Khamenei said in a televised speech.
"In my view, Ukraine is a victim of the crises concocted by the United States," Khamenei said.
"There are two lessons to be learnt here. States which depend on the support of the U.S. and Western powers need to know they cannot trust such countries," he added.
