Iran Says KSA Must Realize 'Pressures on Lebanon are Futile'
Saudi Arabia must realize that “the approach of besiegement and pressures on Lebanon will not achieve any results,” Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman has said.
The spokesman, Said Khatibzadeh, added that holding a new round of Iranian-Saudi talks hinges on “Riyadh showing more seriousness.”
Khatibzadeh’s remarks are related to the diplomatic crisis between Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.
The crisis erupted over remarks made by Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi about Yemen’s war but Riyadh has also cited the “dominance” of Iran-backed Hizbullah over Lebanon.
