Riyadh should put up with Tehran's growing role in the region as it is "the result of natural developments", the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.





MOSCOW (Sputnik)�� Saudi Arabia must come to�terms with�the fact that Iran has increased its influence in�the region and abandon inappropriate behavior because Tehran's patience is not limitless, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said Tuesday.
"If certain developments have happened in�Iraq that have increased Iran's weight in�the region compared with�Saudi Arabia, it is not a result of�Iran's interest in�imposing its hegemony, but�the result of�natural developments in�the region. If Saudi Arabia cannot bear these developments, it is not our fault� We hope that it can overcome this symptom and start constructive interactions with�its neighbors, specially Iran," Qassemi was quoted as�saying by�FARS news agency.


He added that the Saudi Arabain approach is unacceptable and "any country had a limited degree of�patience and tolerance."

Earlier in�August, the Arab Human Rights Forum, an Arab Gulf parliamentary initiative, held a meeting dedicated to�the "Iranian threats."
