Saudi top diplomat criticizes Iran over conflicts

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has lashed out at regional rival Iran, accusing the Shiite powerhouse of having forces inside Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and insisting that Iran is "part of the problem" in trying to defuse the myriad Mideast crises.

 

Saud al-Faisal said on Monday that Tehran should pull its troops -- which he called "occupying forces" -- from the three Mideast nations stricken by conflicts and violence.

 

Saudi Arabia is part of the US-led coalition conducting air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.
