Jordan's foreign ministry today summoned Iranian ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to lodge a strong protest on his country's attack on the Saudi diplomatic mission in what Jordan considers a flagrant violation of international norms and agreements, citing Vienna Convention for Diplomatic Relations. In a press statement, the spokesman said that during the meeting with the ambassador, the ministry confirmed Jordan's position condemning the Iranian intervention in the domestic affairs of Arab countries, rejected the recent statements by senior Iranian officials as blatant breach of Saudi Arabia's internal affairs, underscored the necessity of respecting the rulings issued by the judicial institutions in the Kingdom, and asserted Jordan's support for Saudi Arabia's efforts in fighting terrorism and extremism. He said the ministry also drew the attention that statements and practices of some Iranian officials might conduce to sectarian instigation in the region and the world at large, feed extremism and create fertile environment for its spread as the region is on the verge of danger resulting from increasing extremism and terrorism.
