Saudi Arabia has summoned the Iranian ambassador in Riyadh and handed him a strong-worded protest note on the aggressive Iranian statements issued in response to the Islamic rulings carried out on terrorists in the Kingdom.

During the meeting, the foreign Ministry expressed the Kingdom's denunciation and categorical rejection to such aggressive statements, Saudi Press Agency reported.

Such aggressive statements are considered a flagrant violation of the Kingdom's internal affairs, the ministry said.

The Foreign Ministry also held the Iranian government completely responsible for the protection of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Tehran, and the Kingdom's consulate in the city of Mash-had and the safety of all its personnel from any hostile actions, as per international agreements and laws.
