 Khartoum (IINA) - Sudan said Monday it is cutting diplomatic relations with Iran following a similar move by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
“The Sudanese government announces the cutting of diplomatic relations with Iran immediately,” the foreign ministry said in a statement. The ministry said the decision was taken in the wake of the brutal attack on the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad, which it said was "clear abuse of international law".
Meanwhile, the UAE Foreign Ministry said it had decided to lower diplomatic representation to the level of charge d’affaires and reduce the number of Iranian diplomats in the country. “This exceptional step has been taken in the light of Iran’s continuous interference in the internal affairs of Gulf and Arab states, which has reached unprecedented levels,” said the UAE Foreign Ministry. It said relations should be based on mutual respect for the sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of others.
