TEHRAN: Iran said on Tuesday that it would move international organizations against Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in recent terrorist attacks against Iranian targets in Lebanon and Yemen.
“We aim to legally follow the cases [of recent terrorist attacks] in international organizations. The preliminary arrangements [for a legal action against Saudi Arabia] have already been made,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham told a news conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
The spokeswoman said that Iran is gathering the necessary details and documents to prepare the final reports on the Saudi-led terrorist activities against Iranian targets in Lebanon and Yemen so that it can follow the cases according to legal laws and a more transparent framework.
“Following the terrorist attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy in Lebanon, the proceedings of a [legal] action have started … We are cooperating with the Lebanese officials to gather details in a bid to provide accurate and authentic documents. The same process is underway for the Yemen’s case,” Afkham said.
On Saturday, the commercial attaché of the Iranian embassy in Sanaa, Abolqasem Asadi, was gunned down by members of a terrorist group outside the Iranian ambassador’s residence in the Yemeni capital.
Earlier on November 19 last year, at least 25 persons including Iran’s cultural attaché to Lebanon were killed and more than 150 others injured when twin bombings occurred outside Iran’s embassy in the southern neighborhood of Janah in Beirut.
The al Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades, commanded by the Saudi terrorist Majed al-Majed, claimed responsibility for the bombings.
