Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his Iranian counterpart on Wednesday that Western media had launched a campaign that could trigger escalation in the Gulf, his ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a telephone call with Hossein Amirabdollahian, Lavrov commented on “the harmfulness of the information campaign that has been launched by Western media”, the ministry said in a statement summarising his remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lavrov told Amirabdollahian that such actions could result in a dangerous escalation of tension in the strategically important region, the ministry added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Washington expressed concern on Tuesday about unspecified threats from Iran against Saudi Arabia and said it would not hesitate to respond if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wall Street Journal reported that Saudi Arabia had shared intelligence with the United States warning of an imminent attack from Iran on targets in the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The report published in the Wall Street Journal about planning attacks against one of the countries in the region is baseless,” Iran’s Mission to the United Nations said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran “reiterates its policy of peaceful neighborliness with its neighbors based on mutual respect and consistent with international principles and rules,” it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
