The United Nations Security Council has condemned Iranian attacks on the SaudiArabian embassy after Saudi Arabia angered the Iranian government by executing a Shiite cleric some days back.
Demonstrators in Iran descended upon the Saudi embassy in Tehran and the consulate in Mashhad. and set it on fire after Riyadh executed 47 men including Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.
This resulted in the Saudis cutting diplomatic relations with Iran, suspending all flights to and from Iran. Several countries like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Sudan have withdrawn diplomatic relations from Iran as a sign of support to Saudi Arabia.
The statement by the 15-member U.N Security council, which called on Iran to protect diplomatic personnel and property, made no mention of the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
The statement read in part:
