Shamkhani made the remarks in a local gathering in Tehran.

Commenting on the recent remarks made by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on necessity of not forgetting this painful Mina tragedy, Shamkhani said the Saudi government behavior, its refusal to offer an apology to the bereaved families and not identifying those behinds the disaster, is an indication of Al Saud's elements' possible involvement in this tragic event, according to IRNA.

He added the Western countries' unwavering support for the Al Saud atrocities and their double standards in dealing with humanitarian disasters has emboldened the regime to continue with its crimes in various areas.

Describing Riyadh as the main culprit behind slaughter of Muslims in Yemen, Syria and Iraq, he added that Saudi Arabia is also the main strategic partner of West and Zionist regime in the religion.
