Iran: Source refutes claims of Iran targeting Saudi Arabia

Iran on Wednesday dismissed certain media claims that it has targeted Saudi Arabia, saying such vain claims are totally baseless.

An informed source at Foreign Ministry, rejecting claims of Saudi Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Prince Nayef that problems caused by Iran are targeting Saudi Arabia, said Iran has always been favoring stability, tranquility and progress in Saudi Arabia and no so-called problem targeting Saudi Arabia ever exists.

He said security of Saudi Arabia and Iran are intertwined and the Islamic Republic of Iran considers Saudi security as its own.

The source expressed shock over the media claims over Saudi Arabia being targeted by Iran and said such claims are the result of the anti-Iran news propaganda aimed at raising doubts among regional states over the country.
