Saudi Arabia tells Iran to quit meddling in Iraq
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi Arabia is accusing Iran of sowing “sedition” in Iraq, urging the Islamic Republic to “stop intervening” in the affairs of its neighbors.
“Sedition and division in Iraq are the results of sectarian policies that developed out of Iran’s policies in Iraq,” says Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir in a joint press briefing with his British counterpart Philip Hammond in Jeddah.
“If Iran wants stability in Iraq, it has to stop intervening and withdraw,” he says after accusing Tehran of sending “Shiite militias” to the war-torn country.
“Iran should respect the principle of good neighborly relations, to focus on its internal situation and not intervene in the affairs of other countries in the region, mainly Iraq,” he says.
