WASHINGTON — Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has called Iran the "biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world."
Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir made the remark Sunday in an address before the Munich Security Conference, citing several covert, political and military actions carried out by Iran to buttress his argument.
"The Iranians do not believe in the principle of good neighborliness or non-interference in the affairs of others. This is manifested in their interference in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan," he said.
"We look at the region and we see terrorism and we see a state sponsor of terrorism that is determined to upend the order in the Middle East," he continued. "The Iranians are the only country in the region that has not been attacked by either Daesh or al-Qaida. And this begs the question: Why? If Daesh and al-Qieda are extremist Sunni organizations, you would think they would be attacking Iran, a Shiite state. But they have not. Could it be that there's a deal between them that prevents them or causes them not to attack the Iranians? This is a question that we keep asking ourselves."
Daesh is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.

PacificSentinel: Iran is no angle, but neither is Saudi Arabia, their just on opposite sides of the religious coin, both as bad as each other; has ISIS attacked Iran, no, why, because Iran has sent troops to help their puppet state Syria defeat ISIS (with lots of other nations involved in the fight as well), and it's working; as for Saudi Arabia, remind me who formed Al-Qieda again and where he was from...there's an old saying about glasses houses and throwing stones that the Saudi's really should look into!
