Iran Accuses Saudi Arabia of Hitting Embassy in Yemen Air Strike

W460

Saudi jets "deliberately" struck Iran's embassy in Yemen in an air raid that wounded staff, Tehran's foreign ministry said Thursday, as tensions between the two regional powers mounted.

"This deliberate action by Saudi Arabia is a violation of all international conventions that protect diplomatic missions," foreign ministry spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari was quoted as saying by state television.

"The Saudi government is responsible for the damage caused and for the situation of members of staff who were injured," Ansari added, without specifying when the alleged strike took place.

I am surprised the Saudis did not cluster bomb the hub of terrorism also known as the iranian embassy in Yemen.

that's tricky, if they start bombing terrorists they'll end up bombing themselves.
