Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of lighting the fires of sectarianism and sponsoring terrorism. Speaking during a meeting with the Italian Foreign Minister in Rome, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said Iran was in violation of international agreements.
Al-Jubeir said that Iran sends its Revolutionary Guard corps to Yemen, as well as to Syria and Iraq, "interfering with domestic affairs and boosting the fire of sectarianism."
In regards to diplomatic relations with Qatar, Al-Jubeir said Saudi Arabia was willing to "turn a new page" if they met demands. Al-Jubeir also told a press conference that Qatar must choose if it wants to "stop funding terrorism" or continue to do so, he said.
