Iran condemns the attack on Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Tehran and pursues to identify and punish those responsible, Seyed Abbas Araghchi said speaking at the meeting of the OIC foreign ministers held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Thursday.
He ensured the outcome of the investigations would be announced soon.
The meeting was held upon a call by Riyadh to study incidents regarding its embassy and consulate general in Iran, days after a group of protestors to the execution of the prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr attacked its embassy in the Iranian capital and its consulate general in the northeastern city of Mashhad which led Saudi Arabia and some of its allies to cut ties with Iran.
Araghchi expressed regret that OIC keeps silent towards main challenges of the Islamic world, the issue of Palestine in particular, but at the same time rapidly reacts to the issue of Saudi Embassy attack in Iran.
