While the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Arab Republic of Egypt declare that they appreciate the mediation of the Amir of Kuwait and his commendable efforts to restore the Qatari authority to the right path and his declaration thatQatar is willing to recognize the 13 demands and negotiate them, they stress that the dialogue on the implementation of the demands should not be preceded by any conditions,  and the four countries regret what was said by the Amir of Kuwait on the success of mediation in stopping military intervention;  stressing that the military option has not been and will not be considered in any case, and that the crisis with Qatar is not only a Gulf dispute but with many of Arab and Islamic countries, which announced their position on the Qatari interventions and support for terrorism, and many other countries in the world were unable to declare their position due to the Qatari penetration of their internal affairs, which made them fear the consequences, especially with the Qatari precedents in support of coups, and embracing and financing terrorism and extremist thought hate speech.

The statement of Qatar’s Foreign Minister after the Amir’s statement confirm Qatar’s rejection of the dialogue without lifting the boycott measures taken by the four countries to protect their interests legally and politically and setting preconditions for dialogue confirms Qatar’s lack of seriousness in dialogue, combating and financing terrorism and interfering in the internal affairs of countries.

The four countries appreciated the position of US president Donald Trump in his firm assertion that the only way to resolve the crisis is the need to stop the support and financing of terrorism and his unwillingness to resolve the crisis unless this is achieved.

Saudi Arabia affirms it has never requested Iranian mediatio

Aug 17, 2017   //   by admin   //   English, SA News, Uncategorized  //  No Comments

A Saudi senior official affirms that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has never requested Iranian mediation in any way, shape, or form.

The source further clarified that reports circulating in the media are outright baseless.

The source confirmed Saudi Arabia’s firm position, which rejects any rapprochement with an Iranian regime that spreads terrorism and extremism, both regionally and globally, and interferes in the affairs of other countries.

The source asserted that negotiations with the current Iranian regime are not possible since experience has shown that this regime has no respect for diplomatic rules and norms or the principles of international relations. It is a regime that finds it acceptable to fabricate lies and distort facts. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia emphasizes the dangers posed by the Iranian regime and its aggressive behavior on global peace and stability.

Saudi Arabia calls on all nations to work together in order to deter aggressive behavior by the Iranian regime and compel it to abide by international law, UN resolutions, and diplomatic norms and procedures.

 

Saudi Arabia: Iran refuses to cooperate in Saudi embassy attack in Tehran.

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Canberra _ Press Release

A Press Release from the Saudi Embassy in Canberra on Wednesday explained that Iranian authorities had persistently and consistently stalled and refused to resume investigation into the incident of storming the embassy of the kingdom of the Saudi Arabia  in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad even though these attacks were perpetrated a year and a half ago.

The Saudi Embassy statement stated that: On 9/2/2016, the Permanent Mission of Saudi Arabia in New York received a letter from the Permanent Mission of Iran in regards to the incident against the premises of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and the Saudi Consulate General in Mashhad.

The letter conveyed the desire of the Iranian Government to obtain permission from the Government of Saudi Arabia to enter the premises of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and the Saudi Consulate General in Mashhad, to allow them to complete their investigation of the incident.

The Iranian side was advised of the Saudi Government’s approval of their request, on condition that a team from the Kingdom travels to Iran and be present when Iranian Authorities enter the Saudi Embassy and the Consulate General premises in Iran. Another condition of Saudi Arabia’s approval was for Iran to advise the Saudi team during their stay in Iran of the outcome of the investigation that was being conducted by Iranian Authorities.

The Iranian side agreed to the conditions of the Saudi side in travelling to Iran and for the purposes stated above.

They also agreed that the Saudi team arranges for the shipping from Iran of the personal property of Saudi Diplomats who had been posted to Iran. Iran conveyed its desire to apply reciprocity principles in relation to such property.

The Iranian side also requested the names of the members of the Saudi team. The Iranian side were informed of the Saudi side’s agreement to their requests. They were also advised of the names of the Saudi team members, and that the Saudi team will be travelling to Iran and staying from 25 to 29 December 2016.

The Saudi team continued to follow up; the Iranian Authorities continued to procrastinate. The Iranian side requested from the Saudi side to set a new date for the arrival of the Saudi team in Tehran. The Saudi team advised that the date of 3 July 2017 was suitable for them to travel to Iran. The Iranian side conveyed their agreement to the date suggested by the Saudi side. The Iranian Consulate in Dubai issued the visas required for the Saudi team to enter Iran.

However, to date, the Iranian Authorities have been declined to the issue a landing permit in Iran required for the Saudi team’s airplane. Iranian Authorities have associated the matter of the Saudi team’s airplane landing permit, with the matter of the issuance of visas to enter Saudi Arabia for the Iranian team wanting to visit Iranian Diplomatic Premises in the Kingdom, as well as with the matter of the issuance of visas to enter Saudi Arabia for the team from the Iranian Hajj Organization.

The Iranian Authorities refused the presence of a Saudi Team when they enter the Saudi Missions premises to continue investigating

The Iranian side’s refusal for a Saudi Team to be present when Iranian Authorities enter the premises of the Saudi Embassy and Consulate in Iran, confirms that the Iranian side is neither serious in its investigations into the attack nor in prosecuting and punishing the perpetrators. This is not surprising about Iran, who has a long record in violating the inviolability of diplomatic mission, such as the attacks on:

  • The US Embassy in 1979 and holding its staff hostage for 444 days
  • The Saudi Embassy in 1987
  • The Kuwaiti Embassy in 1987
  • The Russian Embassy in 1988
  • A Kuwaiti Diplomat in 2007
  • The Pakistani Embassy in 2009
  • The British Embassy in 2011
  • The Saudi Embassy and Consulate in 2016

Iran’s refusal for a Saudi diplomatic team to be present when the Iranian Authorities enter the Saudi Diplomatic Mission’s premises in Iran, as well as imposing no punishment against the perpetrators involved in that attack, prove that Iran does not want to be reasonable or logical. Rather than bridging the gap, Iran aims to further ignite the situation, as it continues to act in a manner that is contrary to international principles and conventions. It also proves that the act of violating the inviolability of the Saudi Diplomatic Mission’s premises was an organized and premeditated act. It was not a mere spontaneous reaction undertaken by Iranian Citizens; it was rather part of a bigger Iranian plan supported by the Iranian Regime, seeking to escalate the situation.

Iran continues its aggressive approach in the region and instability in Yemen

Nov 1, 2016   //   by admin   //   English, SA News  //  No Comments

 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia states that Iran continues its aggressive approach in the region and continues to interfere in the internal affairs of Arabic countries, which lead to instability and unrest in the region.

The instability and tension in Yemen is a consequence of Iran’s interference in Yemen with the aim to destabilize the country, disrupt its peace, and threaten its security. Iran seeks to incite sectarian sensitivities and to sabotage international efforts towards reaching a settlement of the Yemeni Conflict in accordance with UN resolution 2216 (issued in 2015). The Iranian Regime continues to support and encourage rebels by supplying them with arms, military experts, and missiles. This has led to instability and increased tension in the region, let alone to the suffering of the Yemeni People. The attacks against Saudi borders and  Cities would not have been occurred without Iran’s intensified encouragement and support of the rebels in Yemen, which went as far as threatening international navigation.

The Kingdom emphasizes its right to protect its sovereignty and security, and thus calls upon the international community to take its responsibility and fulfil its duty by responding to the actions of the Iranian Regime, which resulted in instability of the region as well as aggression and interference in states’ internal affairs.
