The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council said it fully supports any further action against Iran’s regime to halt \u201cterrorist acts\u201d after Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Tehran was ransacked by Iranian mobs last week.<\/p>\n
The GCC, whose members are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, \u201ccalls upon the international community to take serious measures against Iran to prevent repetition of such attack on diplomatic missions in the future,\u201d Abdul Latif Al Zayani, the secretary-general of the council, told reporters in Riyadh Saturday after a meeting of its foreign-affairs ministers. It \u201cwelcomes the strong rejection of Iran\u2019s actions against Saudi Arabia from neighboring Arab and Islamic countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
The GCC condemned the attack on the Saudi embassy and holds Iranian authorities responsible, Al Zayani said. The council stands with Saudi Arabia\u2019s decisions against Iran’s regime, he said.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabian Foreign Affairs Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said while the country has no issue conducting talks with Iran’s regime, Tehran\u2019s actions make it hard to deal with, Bloomberg reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot have a country that attacks and burns embassies whether those embassies are British or American or Saudi,\u201d Al-Jubeir said. \u201cIran has to make a decision whether it is a nation state or a revolution. If it is a nation state, it should act like one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia would welcome the opportunity to see Iran \u201cact like a normal country,\u201d he said. \u201cTo be a peaceful country and to not interfere in the affairs of other countries in the region and to stop supporting terrorism. So that is entirely in the hands of Iran, whether it wants to be a good neighbor or if it wants to remain in a hostile environment with this region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
