Takfiri extremism, terrorism promotion obvious Saudi hallmarks: Iran
2017-10-08
[Iran Press TV] Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has rejected Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

extremism and terrorism is among obvious hallmarks of Riyadh’s foreign policy.

"Threatening and the employment of military force and language of bullying against small neighboring countries, the undeniable war crimes dossier in Yemen

and the promotion of Takfiri extremism and terrorism have been among the obvious traits of Saudi foreign policy in recent years," Qassemi said on Saturday.

In order to cover up its record, Saudi Arabia has no option but to put the blame on others, distract public opinion and spend huge sums of money; however, such methods would fail, he added.

The Iranian spokesperson said whenever Saudi officials feel under pressure from world public opinion for their military aggression on Yemen and their support for terrorism they move to level preposterous and hackneyed allegations against Tehran.

Surprisingly, Riyadh, which has a long record in spreading of terrorism, violence and aggression, is shamelessly and delusively setting conditions for Iran's active presence in the international community, he said.

Qassemi made the remarks in response to recent accusations by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, who claimed that Iran supports terrorism and destabilizes the region. In another allegation, he said that Iran must give up meddling in the affairs of other countries to become a constructive member of the international community.

Saudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
Ansarullah movement and reinstate former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.
