Doha, (IINA) - Qatar has recalled its ambassador to Iran on Wednesday after allies Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Djibouti and Bahrain cut their ties with Tehran following attacks on Saudi missions by Iranian protesters, angered by the execution of a Shiite radical Nimr Al-Nimr, Arab News reported.
“The ministry summoned this morning Qatar’s ambassador to Tehran against the backdrop of attacks on the embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Tehran” state news agency QNA quoted Khalid Al-Hamar, the director of the Asian Affairs Department, as saying.
Qatar’s move comes after Djibouti cut its diplomatic relations with Iran, joining Sudan and Bahrain, which earlier severed ties with Iran in solidarity with Saudi Arabia.
Qatar's foreign ministry called the embassy attack a "violation of international charters and norms that ensure the security and protection of diplomatic missions and their members".
It is noteworthy that the country shares access with Iran to the world’s largest natural gas field in the Arabian Gulf.
