Riyadh, (IINA) - Djibouti cut its diplomatic relations with Iran on Wednesday in solidarity with Saudi Arabia, Al-Arabiya News channel reported, quoting an official source.
Djibouti thus became the fourth country after Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Bahrain to cut ties with Iran after the attack on Saudi missions in Tehran and Mashhad by apparently organized mobs.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) partially downgraded its relations with Iran, while Kuwait has recalled its envoy from Tehran.
After the attack on Saudi missions in Iran by an apparently organized mob, Egypt expressed its solidarity with Saudi Arabia, condemning Iran’s repeated interference in regional affairs.
In Jordan, state news agency Petra said that Amman summoned Iran’s ambassador to condemn the attacks and “Iranian interference” in Arab affairs.
Meanwhile, Oman denounced the attacks on the Saudi diplomatic posts in Iran as “unacceptable”, while Turkey said that the execution of prominent Shiite preacher Nimr Al-Nimr, who was convicted of terrorist acts, was a domestic issue.
The Jordanian government stressed its condemnation “of the Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Arab states”, the Petra news agency said. It also rejected Iranian statements it said represented “interference in internal Saudi affairs”.
The Iranian ambassador was told to relay the Jordanian position to his government immediately.
