DUBAI: The Muslim World League on Monday endorsed the statement issued by the meeting of Arab Foreign Ministers of the Arab League condemning Iran’s recent interference in the internal affairs of the countries of the region Saudi state news agency SPA reported.
The statement slated the “terrorist acts by the Iranian axis of evil” which was threatening the countries across the region with the deployment of various groups, “in a series of subversive crimes and the spread of sectarian strife.”
Foreign Ministers from across the Arab world recently condemned what it called the Iranian aggression in the region.
The ministers warned that their countries would not “stand idly by in the face of threats to its national security.”
“We are obliged today to take a serious and honest stand … to counter these belligerent policies so that we can protect our security,” Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir told an emergency meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo.
The ministers offered their unified support for Saudi Arabia and for any measures it may take to counter Iranian threats.
They called for Iran to end its support of Hezbollah and Houthi militias, and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss Iranian aggression.
The comments follow the launch of an Iranian-supplied missile that had been aimed at Riyadh from Houthi militia-held territory in Yemen – but was intercepted by Saudi military before it could cause any serious harm.
