Saudi Arabias top diplomat has urged Iran to stay out of internal Arab disputes, in particular in Lebanon and among the Palestinians. Irans foreign minister made a surprise visit to Saudi Arabia amid rising tensions between the Islamic Republic and the Arab world.
Manouchehr Mottaki was met by his Saudi counterpart, Prince Saud al-Faisal, at Riyadh Air Force base and met later with the Saudi monarch. The visit comes after Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Syria held a mini-summit in Riyadh last week to patch up their differences, which largely revolve around Irans regional role. Iran supports Islamist movements Hamas and Hezbollah and is often at odds with US-allied Arab regimes in the region.
