Khamenei slammed the "meddling statements of some US and European officials in Iran's internal affairs."

"These (US, European) officials, with their absurd comments on Iran, talk in a way as if they had no problem of themselves and there was just Iran's problem," Iran's state TV IRIB quoted him as saying in another report.

He made the remarks addressing the judiciary chief and staff in Tehran.
