Tehran blames Iranian embassy air strike on Saudi Arabia



TEHRAN: -- Iran has accused Saudi Arabia of an aerial attack on its embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa.

A foreign ministry spokesman in Tehran, Hossein Jaber Ansari, said: “Saudi Arabia is responsible for the damage to the embassy building and the injury to some of its staff,” according to Iranian state television news channel IRIB .

General Ahmed Asseri, speaking for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, said it would investigate the accusation.

Coalition jets carried out heavy strikes in Sanaa on Wednesday night to target missile launchers used by the Houthi militia to fire at Saudi Arabia, Asseri said. He added that the group has used civilian facilities, including abandoned embassies.

According to Asseri, the coalition had requested all countries to supply it with coordinates of the location of their diplomatic missions and that accusations made on the basis of information provided by the Houthis “have no credibility”.

As the regional face-off between Iran and Saudi Arabia escalates, several Saudi allies have also increasingly distanced themselves from Tehran.

The Saud's family control over Saudi Arabia will be over soon, with many of them arrested for importing and selling illegal narcotics and causing inter fighting in the region.

If they lose control of power then the vacuum created by that will be complete mayhem in that region.

everyone initially celebrated the Arab spring, the overthrow of Gaddafi, the removal of Saddam, yet every time this happens there is just more ISIS types groups that take over and things get even crazier.

Better with the devil we know.

maybe now it is easy to understand why they need these types of ruthless dictators in these regions. It is the only way to keep these ignorant, extremists in line.

Game On! Let the games begin.

Dictators need stability and peace and their own prosperity to survive.

It is obvious from the past 10 years those days are gone and overwith in the Middle East.

Creative destruction.

It's a longer term reversal of the status quo. The French Revolution wasn't a tea party either.

"The Saud's family control over Saudi Arabia will be over soon, with many of them arrested for importing and selling illegal narcotics and causing inter fighting in the region."

If their control is to end, it will be because the USA has decided to stop backing them. Or the USA could just o a 'regime change'.

"If they lose control of power then the vacuum created by that will be complete mayhem in that region."

Saudi Arabia has oil, and lots of it. That oil willnot be disrupted, because the USA will step in and take over the place. America will install whatever government after the invasion.

"Dictators need stability and peace and their own prosperity to survive."

Saudi Arabia is backed by Washington, that's how the Saudi government has survived for this long. Saudi Arabia has attacked Yemen, and they've executed that Shia cleric, they're convinced that Washington will do nothing. Why ? Saudi Arabia is pumping out a whole load of oil and lowering the world oil price. America loves this, America wants cheap oil, and the low oil price hurts Russia. Hence, no need for Washington to remove the Saudi regime.
