Iran's leader says countries should 'block the flow of oil and food' to Israel

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday is pushing for countries to block their exports of food and oil into Israel over its war on Hamas.

"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 state media as saying, 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."  Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian called on Iran's Arab-majority neighbors in mid-October to impose an oil embargo on Israel and for nations within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to expel all Israeli ambassadors.
