"The Saudi government is busy killing innocent people and women and children in Yemen without any justification and only under the pretext that the Yemeni people do not accept a person as the president," Khamenei said, according to Press TV.
The United Stats is also supporting this "monstrous crime," while they are accusing, Iran which is after sending medical aid and food to the Yemeni people, Khamenei said.
Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of arming and financing Houthi fighters, an accusation Tehran rejects.
The people of Yemen do not need weapons from Iran because they have the control of all military bases in their country, he said, adding that the most urgent need of the Yemeni people is humanitarian aid of which they have been denied due to the blockade imposed on the country.
More than 1,000 people have been killed and 3,000 injured in the fighting and the airstrikes, which started late March.
Saudi-led forces continue to carry out bombardments against the Houthi group in Yemen despite an announcement in late April to halt the air raids.
