Iran accuses Saudi Arabia of following Israel’s lead

Iran on Monday dismisses as “worthless” a resolution by Arab League foreign ministers that accused the Islamic Republic of “aggression” against Arab states.

“The solution to the region’s problems, many of which are down to Saudi Arabia’s sterile policy, is not to publish such worthless statements but to stop following the policies of the Zionist regime (Israel) which seeks to stoke divisions,” the ISNA news agency quotes foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghassemi as saying.

On Sunday, the Arab League held an extraordinary general meeting in Cairo, at the request of Saudi Arabia, as tensions soar between the regional arch-rivals, including over league member Lebanon.
