Morocco recalls Iran envoy over Bahrain

Morocco has recalled its envoy to Iran, Morocco's news agency MAP said on Wednesday, after an Iranian official questioned Bahrain's sovereignty provoking an outcry in much of the Sunni Muslim word.

According to media reports, Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri, an adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said earlier this month that Iran had sovereignty over the kingdom. (AP)
