Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif lashed out at Saudi Arabia's allegations that Tehran has supplied the Yemeni resistance group Ansarullah with missiles, describing it a violation of the international laws and the UN Charter.
Zarif made the remarks in a phone conversation with his British counterpart Boris Johnson on Tuesday.
During the phone talks, the two top diplomats also talked about bilateral ties and the latest developments in the region and the world.
Zarif, for his part, warned of Saudi Arabia's provocative measures in the region, and rejected Riyadh's "dangerous allegations as a violation of the international laws and the UN Charter".
The Iranian Foreign Ministry had earlier dismissed as "baseless" the Saudi allegations that Tehran has supplied Yemen with the missile that was fired in the recent strike against an airport in Riyadh.
