Iran’s
Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian today criticized what he
called Saudi Arabia’s “unconstructive role” in recent Syria talks in Vienna, threatening
to walk out of the talks should the next meeting be “unproductive.”
“Some
countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, played negative and nonconstructive roles
(in the recent meeting), as they could not provide a logic for their positions vis-à-vis
Syria’s conflict,” Abdollahian said. “If the negotiations will be ‘a show’ and
rights of the Syrian people are ignored, Iran will pull out of the talks.”

Following
Syria talks on Friday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said the talks
should entail a decision on a date and means for the departure of President
Bashar al-Assad, as well as the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Syria,
including Iran.
A
day later, Jubeir used a high-profile regional security conference in Bahrain
to accuse Iran of attempting to smuggle weapons to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as
well as meddling in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, Reuters reported.

Iran needs to get out of Arab affairs and focus on its own development. Nothing good ever comes out of Arab failed states. Let Turkey suffer the consequences. Iran should strengthen its military and just let Arabs kill each other as they have done for 1400 years.
Bravo Iran don't be part of a game. It is so stupid to act like Saudi Arabia and Turkey supportIng four years the killing machin daesh and now to participate in an so called attempt to stop violence in Syria.
