India, July 16 -- Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei said on Wednesday that the US is an accomplice to Israeli crimes and called Israel a "cancerous tumour" and United States' "dog on a leash".

The remarks come days after Israel and Iran reached a ceasefire following a nearly two-weeks long conflict during which the two countries exchanged drones and missiles.

Khamenei said fighting the US and its 'dog on a leash' Israel is praiseworthy, Reuters reported, adding that the Supreme Leader asserted that Iran is capable to give bigger blow to its adversaries than seen in the Iran-Israel war.

Khamenei said that Iran is ready to respond to any renewed military attack.
