Iran leader: Major powers responsible for humanity’s health problems

This time I'm drawing upon the wisdom of not Iran's President, Mahmud Ahmadinejad, but instead it's Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

How does he fit all of that on a business card?

The Leader Supremo of Iran says, not surprisingly, that the world's health problems should be blamed on the "major powers," meaning of course, "the West."

From the Mehr News Agency:

Despite scientific progress, the state of man’s health is worrying and health-threatening social issues have been increasing rapidly, the Leader said.

The problems of people throughout the world, especially the worrying state of health, stem from the discrimination, selfishness, and injustice practiced by the major powers, he added.

“Hunger, sexual promiscuity, drug abuse, alcoholism, and psychological warfare practiced by global propaganda machines are the most significant social ills threatening health in the modern world,” he noted.

The "scientific progress," Khameini referred to, of course comes from "the West."

More from Mehr:
Various religions, especially Islam, offer valuable recommendations for human health and wellbeing which should be practiced in societies more than before, (Khameini) stated.

Fact: The CIA rankings by life expectancy at birth by nation tell a different story.

Western countries, or Westernized Asian nations such as Singapore, those decadent states, dominate the top rankings of that list.

Iran is in the lower half of the 50th percentile, 133rd out of 226.

Explain that, Grand Poobah of Iran.
