The Iranian spokesman said that the Saudi deputy crown prince's remarks against the Islamic Republic are proof that the kingdom follows “confrontational and destructive policies” in the region and towards Tehran.
“Over the past years, Iran has shown in words and deeds that it endeavors towards utilizing common ground to reach understanding and cooperate with all regional countries," Qassemi said.
The Iranian spokesman was reacting on Wednesday to comments made by Mohammed bin Salman, who rejected the possibility of normalization of ties with Iran.
He added that unity in the Islamic world towards resolving the crises in the region is of utmost importance to Iran.
The spokesmen went on to stress that these crises all result from foreign interference and extremist Takfiri terrorism which has roots in Saudi-backed Wahhabism.
Wahhabism is the radical ideology dominating Saudi Arabia, freely preached by government-backed clerics there, and inspiring terrorists worldwide.
Daesh and other Takfiri terror groups use the ideology to declare people of other faiths as “infidels” and then kill them.
