Kuwaiti cabinet condemns aggression on Saudi embassy, consulate in Iran

The Kuwaiti cabinet on Monday strongly condemned protesters' "hostile acts" against the Saudi embassy and consulate in Iran, including storming, torching and sabotage, KUNA reported.

The ministers stressed that these acts constitute "blatant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 on a country's commitment to the protection of diplomatic missions and their premises, as well as the safety of staff, said Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al Mubarak Al Sabah.

Holding the Iranian authorities fully responsible for this, the cabinet reiterated that Kuwait stands side by side with Saudi Arabia, supporting all measures Riyadh adopts to maintain its security and stability.

On Sunday, the Saudi foreign minister said that his country takes very seriously all recent threats to its missions abroad and notified the UN Security Council of the Iranian aggression on the embassy in Tehran and the consulate in Mashhad.
