Tasnim � Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the country�s Interests Section office will open in the Saudi city of Jeddah in the not too distant future.





�� (Iran and Saudi Arabia�s) interest sections offices will open in Tehran and Jeddah in the near future,� said Qassemi in his weekly press briefing on Monday.

He added, �The exact date (for opening the offices) has not yet been finalized�.

According to a document signed between the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Swiss embassy in Tehran on October 26, Switzerland will represent Iran�s interests in Saudi Arabia.

The agreement was signed by the Iranian Foreign Ministry�s director general for the Persian Gulf, Mohammad Farazmand, and the Swiss ambassador to Tehran, Markus Leitner.

Referring to recent remarks made against Iran in Riyadh at a meeting of foreign ministers and military chiefs of a Saudi-led coalition waging war against Yemen, the Iranian spokesman defended Tehran�s stance on the developments in Yemen, saying the Islamic Republic issued the �necessary warning� to regional states from the first hours the aggression started.

The Saudi regime and its allies are used to �playing blame games� on others to cover up their crimes, Qassemi said, adding, �The issues brought up at the Riyadh (meeting) are not something new and have turned into an old habit (for the Saudi regime).�

In his address to the Riyadh gathering on Sunday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir accused Tehran of smuggling arms to Houthis in Yemen, saying they would not have continued operations without Iran�s support.

�Iran is destroying all attempts to find a solution in Yemen, which has led to the failure of all political negotiations between the government and these militias,� he claimed.
