Iran has strongly condemned Saudi Arabia for blaming the Islamic Republic over Saturday’s missile strike on the Arab kingdom. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghassemi rejected the allegation as provocative and irresponsible. Ghassemi says Yemeni forces carried out the missile strike on their own. He added that the attack which hit an airport in Riyadh was a response to the Saudi aggression and war crimes in Yemen. The Iranian diplomat added that the Saudi-led coalition has failed to reach any of its declared goals in Yemen, and it’s now trying to begin a psychological war by leveling unfounded accusations against others. Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of giving missiles to Yemen’s Ansarullah forces and said that it could consider the strike as an act of war.
