Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir gestures during a news conference after an extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), in Riyadh January 9, 2016.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir accused Iran on Sunday of interfering in Arab affairs and undermining regional security, speaking at an emergency Arab League session called to discuss attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions in Tehran earlier this month.

“These attacks clearly reflect the approach that the Iranian policy is taking in our Arab region specifically … with its interference in the affairs of the (region’s) states and instigation of sectarian strife and shaking its security and stability,” said Jubeir.

Top Arab diplomats met Sunday in Cairo for emergency talks to discuss tensions with Iran after attacks on the Saudi diplomatic missions there.

In his opening remarks, Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan accused Iran of intentionally failing to protect Saudi diplomatic posts.

Al Nahyan said the attack “took place under the nose and within the earshot of security forces.”

Meanwhile, Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi accused Tehran of “provocative acts” and called on Arab states to take a “clear stance” against Iran’s meddling in Arab affairs.

The crisis between Saudi Arabia and Iran erupted when the Saudi kingdom executed Shiite preacher Nimr al-Nimr on Jan. 2.

In Iran, protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran, prompting Riyadh to sever relations. Tehran cut all commercial ties with Riyadh, and banned pilgrims from traveling to Makkah.
