He forgot to take his medications that day and went on to say the following. Now there is your supreme leader of Iran. This has to be in the top 10 stupid things ever said by Khamenei. Maybe top 5. Islam discourages wife beating but Americans and Europeans do it regularly because their race is barbaric..

It's sad that when you hear him say it in Farsi it sounds so normal. Racism, i.e. nejadparasti, in Iran only means one thing. Whites enslaving blacks. So he by definition can't be racists. This is actually an accepted axiom in liberal circles that blacks by definition cannot be racists. And for him to complain about wife beating in the west really roo mikhad.

He later came to his senses and said the following. Rahbare Moazzam kheyli zan zalil tashrif daran!

So us men are shireh darandeh and women put afsar on us and ride us around. This was his way of complementing women. The beginning wasn't much better in that women can so cunning, no pun intended, that can easily fool men and make them do whatever they want. In one fell swoop he insults both sexes. Again, in farsi it sounds like everyday conversation people have around the house.

Just imagine if this sort of remarks was coming from some high ranking Israeli officials about Iran and Iranians ...
