AlHijjah 15, 1436, September 29, 2015, SPA -- In an interview with Al-Arabiya on Monday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir responded to President Hassan Rouhani's address to the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Minister Al-Jubeir said Iran should not be talking about seeking stability in the region as they are behind regional stability. "The Iranian president is the last to discuss democracy in Syria. If it was not for Iran, there would not be the destruction and killing we see today in Syria. Iran supports Bashar Al-Assad by sending thousands of militants and fueling sectarianism between Sunnis and Shiites in Syria and the whole region. They recruit Hezbollah and other militias in the area and send them to Syria to defend Bashar Al-Assad's regime," Minister Al-Jubeir told Al-Arabyia in New York. Responding to President Rouhani's comment that Iran is willing to contribute to a political solution in Yemen, Foreign Minister Al-Jubeir said that "the problem in Yemen was due to Houthis, along with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh overthrowing the government. The Houthis have gone to war multiple times in Yemen. Iran has relations with the Houthis, as it provides them with weapons and specialists, and Iran is one of the main reasons behind the war in Yemen. Iran is trying to fan flames in Yemen by smuggling weapons to the Houthis in violation of UN Resolution 2216. Their last attempt was on Saturday, when an Iranian ship loaded with weapons was intercepted. So, Iran is the last country to speak of stability and security in Yemen. Iran is one of the main reasons for what is happening in Yemen today." --More 10:36 LOCAL TIME 07:36 GMT تغريد
