RNA - "The role of the United States and the Zionist regime in creating crises in Middle East region is quite evident; the Zionists are after controlling the region," Amir Abdollahian said.

The senior advisor pointed to the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, and said, "During the last 6 years, simultaneous with the Islamic awakening, an unholy alliance was forged between the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia through which they resorted to various means, such as ISIL, in order to suit their fundamental purpose."

Amir Abdollahian reiterated that it is an insult to the Lebanese people to take their prime minister to another country and announce his resignation there; due to such an insulting conduct, nobody believes that Hezbollah and Lebanon were the causes for this resignation.

"The Zionists are after controlling the region, but their plots have failed. Their next plan is to disturb peace in the region. They will accept peace and security in the region only when Israel is in peace and other countries, even Saudi Arabia, are destroyed and separated,” he added.

In relevant remarks last Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted Saudi Arabia for supporting the terrorist groups in the region, and said the Riyadh government's moves in the region have proven harmful for regional security and stability.

"Visits to the belligerent KSA have proven hazardous to regional health. Trump visit led to Bahrain repression followed by Qatar debacle," Zarif wrote on his Twitter account on Monday.

“Visits by (senior advisor to Trump) Kushner & Lebanese PM led to Hariri's bizarre resignation while abroad. Of course, Iran is accused of interference,” the Iranian foreign minister added.

Zarif also said that KSA bombs Yemen to smithereens, killing 1000’s of innocents, including babies, spreads cholera and famine, but of course blames Iran.

"KSA is engaged in wars of aggression, regional bullying, destabilizing behavior & risky provocations. It blames Iran for the consequences,” the Iranian foreign minister added.

Following visits to Saudi Arabia, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Saturday announced his resignation citing many reasons, including the security situation in Lebanon as well as a possible plot against his life.

Hariri also accused Iran and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah of meddling in Arab countries’ affairs.
