Saudi Gazette report Riyadh -- The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Iranian ambassador to the Kingdom on Saturday 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, a ministry source said. During the meeting, the Ministry expressed the Kingdom's denunciation and categorical rejection of such aggressive statements which are flagrant interference in the Kingdom's internal affairs. As per international agreements and laws,  the Iranian government is completely responsible for the protection of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Tehran and the Kingdom's consulate in the city of Mashad and the safety of all its personnel from any hostile action.
