Reuters: Iran accuses Saudi warplanes of attacking its embassy in Yemen
Iran on Thursday said Saudi warplanes had attacked its embassy in Yemen's capital, a development that would exacerbate tensions between the major Shi'ite and Sunni powers in the region, and Riyadh said it would investigate the accusation.
"Saudi Arabia is responsible for the damage to the embassy building and the injury to some of its staff," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari was quoted as saying by Iranian state television news channel IRIB.
Residents and witnesses in the capital Sanaa said there was no damage to the embassy building in Hadda district.
WNU Editor: AP is reporting that they saw no damage on the embassy. But considering how tense Saudi - Iranian relations are right now, this type of news will only inflame the deep differences between the two countries.
