What Saudis are doing not rational: Zarif
EghtesadOnline: What the Saudi government is doing is not what everybody expects a rational government to do, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says.
The Saudis could not even imagine that the Islamic Republic is going to make it and pass through difficult times, Zarif said in a meeting with the Iranian journalists on Wednesday, reports IRNA.
'And that is why they are using everything in their capacity to reverse the situation,' he said.
Iran's top diplomat also derided at comments by some suggesting that what the Saudi government is doing is indicative of a new courage.
'What kind of courage it is?' Zarif asked.
'Is it a sign of courage by the Saudis to send Anwar Eshki to Israel to connect to the Israelis and then deny the whole story,' he wondered.
'If they had enough courage they would have announced his dispatch publicly,' he said.
In another instance, they send Turki Al Faisal to join MKO leader Maryam Rajavi in Paris, then they alleged the Saudi prince was on a personal and not a state visit, Zarif said.
'If they had the courage they would announce it publicly,' he said.
