Saudi Arabia Votes Yes on UN Condemnation of Iran Human Rights Violations

Saudi Arabia has voted yes in the November 20, 2009 UN vote to condemn Iran for human rights violations. Its move was apparently motivated by the growing tension between the two countries over the clashes in Yemen between the government and the Houthi rebels, and also by Iran's threats against the Saudi regime on the eve of the Hajj celebrations.
