| Iran calls Morocco's severing of ties 'questionable' |
| 2009-03-07 |
| Iranian Foreign Minister Monouchehr Mottaki on Saturday said Tehran found Morocco's decision to sever ties with the Islamic republic both surprising and questionable. In the first official reaction to Friday's move by Morocco, Mottaki said Iran will "offer a response in a statement" later today to Rabat's decision. "The action by the Morocco government is surprising and questionable," Mottaki told reporters. On Friday, Rabat announced it was cutting ties with Tehran, resurrecting a row sparked by a senior Iranian official who questioned Bahrain's sovereignty. The decision followed Rabat's express backing for Bahrain -- despite Iran moving to patch up their differences -- with Morocco accusing Tehran of seeking to impose its Shiite Muslim ideology on the Sunni-ruled Arab state. |
