RNA - "The western countries and the US government not only do not do anything to confront terrorism, but by supporting the terrorist groups prepare the grounds for increasing their presence in the region," Shamkhani said.

He reiterated that the US is also supporting Saudi Arabia in its attacks on the civilians in Yemen.

In relevant remarks in late February, Shamkhani blasted the Saudi regime for supporting Israel in the region.

"The Riyadh government's policies are based on supporting terrorism and Zionism regime’s opportunist approach at a time that regional tensions are escalating," Shamkhani said in a meeting with Syrian Parliament Speaker Hadiya Khalaf Abbas in Tehran.

He reiterated that blackmailing through terrorism is a habit of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
