Iranian Defense Minister Brig.-Gen. Ahmad Vahidi has criticized the deployment of Saudi forces in Bahrain, warning that the move will have dire consequences for regional stability and security.
"Such measures will mount tension and undermine stability and security in the region," he said following a cabinet meeting today.
He denounced the Saudi invasion of Bahrain and added, "Governments should safeguard people and their independence. They should not invite other countries to assault and kill their people."
The Iranian minister went on to warn that the region would turn into "a center for incendiarism, hostility, and clash" should such '"estabilizing and illegal" moves continue.
