Iran accuses Saudi Arabia of hitting embassy in Yemen air strike

[-SINAN-]

Saudi jets "deliberately" struck Iran's embassy in Yemen in an air raid that wounded staff, Tehran's foreign ministry said Thursday, as tensions between the two regional powers mounted.

"This deliberate action by Saudi Arabia is a violation of all international conventions that protect diplomatic missions," foreign ministry spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari was quoted as saying by state television.

"The Saudi government is responsible for the damage caused and for the situation of members of staff who were injured," Ansari added, without specifying when the alleged strike took place.

Iran has accused Saudi warplanes of attacking the Iranian embassy in the Yemeni capital Sana'a. Some guards were reportedly wounded in the attack, according to state news channel IRIB.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen says it will investigate the accusation, according to coalition spokesman Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri, as cited by Reuters.

Asseri acknowledged that coalition jets carried out heavy airstrikes in Sana'a on Wednesday night, targeting missile launchers used by the Houthi militia. He added that the group has used civilian facilities, including abandoned embassies.

He said the coalition had requested that all countries supply the coordinates of their diplomatic missions, adding that accusations made on the basis of information provided by the Houthis "have no credibility."

It comes as Iran bans the import of all products made in Saudi Arabia. The Thursday decision was made in a cabinet meeting chaired by President Hassan Rouhani, according to Iranian student news agency ISNA.

These two are the reason why Pakistan has suffered the Shia Sunni tit for tats. These two are the main reason why so many other Islamic countries around the world continue to suffer in the Shia Sunni stride for dominance.

Iran and KSA need to get their act together and stop destroying the peace of other nations around the world.

No. YOUR leaders are to blame for your problems, for receiving money and letting some rotten ideology inside your country, besides funding and arming that 'ideology' to teeth in 90s. Don't blame foreigners for your domestic problems.

Is that why Iran and KSA go around the world sponsoring their "truthful" ideology by means of petrodollars? Stop kidding everyone. Both Iran and KSA are responsible for spreading their ideologies through aggressive and forceful means in other parts of the world. Both these countries don't shy away from using and sponsoring violence. Pakistan too has suffered immensely at the hands of Saudi Iranian tit for tats. We Pakistanis know this like no other country in the world. Other countries are like battlegrounds for Iran and Saudi Arabia. One is spreading Wahabbi Islam and the other Shia Islam. Now, many Middle Eastern countries are suffering a similar fate. Their countries are being bombed just because the Saudis and Iranians can't get along and are fighting for dominance. I'm sick and tired of Iranians and Saudis destroying the peace of many Islamic countries around the world. Just stop blaming others and quit screwing around with other people.

Look who is saying this.

Iran has to be the only country on the planet with an active embassy in Houthi-occupied and war-torn Sana'a. I wonder why that is?

Provided that this news is even genuine and that it was not an inside job to remove the focus from the burning of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Iran.
