Iran says Saudi Arabia "exploring in prohibited border areas"
 [Al Ahram] Iran accused Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... of conducting what it called exploration activities in prohibited border areas, according to Iran's foreign ministry front man quoted on state news agency IRNA on Tuesday. Ramin Mehmanparast made the accusation at his weekly news conference in response to a question about a Saudi complaint to the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... last week that Iran strayed onto its territory near oil and gas fields in the Gulf. "Apparently Saudi Arabia has taken actions for exploration activities in prohibited border areas," Mehmanparast said. "The necessary notices were given, and our country's point of view and our commitment to border agreements were conveyed to the Saudi ambassador in Tehran." "We think that any differences can be solved in an environment of cooperation and with a spirit of partnership and understanding," he added. "The violation that has taken place was on the part of Saudi companies and if this issue is to be followed up, they must be questioned," he said. Posted by: Fred 2012-11-21 |
