Iran says Saudi crown prince making 'shameful, ridiculous' remarks

Iran says the recent Saudi policies are a "very sad tragedy," emphasizing that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is paying billions of dollars to the United States and the Israeli regime to win their support.

"Amid the power struggle inside the Saudi royal family and in order to win the support of the US and, recently, the regime occupying al-Quds, he (MBS) is making every ridiculous and shameful remark in addition to paying billions of dollars of Saudi people's money, " Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Friday, Press TV reported.

"The recent Saudi policies are a very sad strategy because a Muslim country with all its ostentatious claims is stooping to the level of a sycophant of the regime occupying al-Quds," he added.

Qassemi said that the neophyte and power-thirsty prince has closed his eyes on "all historical realities and seven decades of crimes by the child-killing" Israeli regime and in a "big and blatant act of treason" against the Palestinian cause, the prince spoke about Riyadh's alliance with the "illegitimate" Tel Aviv regime.

He said such claims indicate that MBS had not studied either history or geography and knows nothing about the suffering of Muslim nations, including the Palestinians.

He warned that all "divisive plots" hatched against Muslim countries during recent years have been aimed at creating terrorist and extremist groups such as Daesh, sowing discord among countries in the Muslim world, undermining the Palestinian cause and ensuring the Israeli regime's security.

This disgrace would definitely lead to an "ominous outcome" for Saudi Arabia and would be recorded as a "great disgrace" for Riyadh in the course of the Muslim world's developments, he pointed out.
