Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani has condemned the "barbaric" attacks on the Saudi embassy in Tehran and Saudi consulate in Meshad.
Al-Zayani held the Iranian authorities fully responsible for such terrorist acts, stressing that their failure to prevent the attacks represents a serious breach of Iran's obligations to protect diplomatic missions under the Vienna Convention of 1961 and International Law.
The GCC chief denounced Iran's "hostile and inciting" statements against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia following the execution of convicted terrorists, stressing that those statements, which represent a blatant interference in Saudi Arabia's domestic affairs, had ignited and encouraged the attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions.
GCC countries rally together behind Saudi Arabia, condemn such terrorist acts against its diplomatic missions in Iran, and hold the Iranian authorities fully responsible for them, Dr. Al-Zayani said.
GCC states also reiterate their full support to the measures taken by Saudi Arabia to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and arrest the perpetrators of terrorist acts and inciters of sedition and bring them to justice, he added.
The GCC is made up of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.It was established in 1981.
