Iran says Saudi supports militants on its turf after Tehran attacks

None

OSLO - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Tuesday said Saudi Arabia was supporting militants inside Iran, days after hardline Sunni group Islamic State claimed attacks in Tehran.

  

"We have intelligence that Saudi Arabia is actively engaged in promoting terrorist groups on the eastern side of Iran, in Baluchistan," Zarif told a news conference held on the sidelines of a conference on peace mediation in Oslo.

  

"On the Western side, the same type of activity is being undertaken, again abusing the diplomatic hospitality of our other neighbor," he said, without elaborating.
