None

Iran has arrested around 100 people over the attack on Saudi Arabia's embassy that led to Riyadh cutting diplomatic ties with Tehran, a judiciary spokesman said Sunday.

 

"Since the attack, about 100 people have been arrested, of whom some have been released," Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejeie was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

 

The ransacking of the embassy earlier this month "has been condemned by all authorities and we have taken immediate and serious action," he added.
