Extremist ideologies promoted by Riyadh root of terrorism: Iran

‘Iran has dismissed recent allegations by a Saudi military official against the Islamic Republic, saying the extremist ideologies cultivated by Saudi Arabia are the root cause of terrorism in the Middle East.
Extremist ideologies developed in Saudi Arabia have led to the formation of various Takfiri terrorist groups, which are threatening people in the region and across the world, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday.
He added that Takfiri terrorists and their regional and international supporters posed the real threat to the region, adding that the patrons were committing the most heinous crimes in the Middle East in the name of fighting terror.
Qassemi was responding to allegations by Brigadier General Ahmed al-Asiri, the spokesman for the Saudi military and the Riyadh-led coalition targeting Yemen. Asiri had accused Iran, without offering any evidence, of meddling in the region and openly smuggling weapons to militants and terrorist groups.’
