Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Saudi Arabia of backing terrorists in Yemen’s war on state TV. According to Al Jazeera, Saudi Arabia and Iran compete for influence in the Middle East, where they support rival groups in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. “Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen and their support of terrorists in Yemen and Syria are main hurdles improved ties between Tehran and Riyadh. Saudi Arabia should stop backing terrorists,” Rouhani told state TV on Tuesday. Rouhani said Iran had the support of Europe and other signatories, and added that US President Donald Trump would struggle to muster support for tearing it up. “The US is in the most difficult situation in its history for creating unity against us and I think it’s not possible for it to do so now,” Rouhani said.
