It was just around Al-Wazzani, three or four shells hit near us,
all people ran away. Go see there... I don't know,
what matters is for us to run away from the shelling.
I don't know from where... clouds are everywhere.
(Reporter asking in Arabic: Did you have any wounded?)
No, thanks God.
In the name of God, the Most Compassionate,
the Most Merciful, peace be with you. We read for you the statement
issued by the Islamic resistance: In the name of the Holy God, at
3:10pm on Monday 4 January 2016, the group of martyr Samir Qantar
from the Islamic resistance detonated a big bomb on the road
of Zebdin-Kafra in the Lebanese occupied region of Shebaa farms,
in an armoured Israeli patrol which resulted in destroying a Hummer
vehicle and injuring those who were in it.
The kingdom, in light of these realities, announces the cutting of
diplomatic relations with Iran and requests the departure
of delegates of diplomatic missions of the embassy and consulate and
offices related to it within 48 hours. The ambassador has been
summoned to notify them.
The story of what happened to Saudi Arabia's embassy
and missions was not the first incident of this type occurring
at diplomatic missions throughout the world.
What matters is that the host state is engaged with its legal
commitments based on international conventions.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has taken measures to fulfil
its duties in this regard, to control the broad wave of popular sentiment,
and is committed to protect diplomatic missions and diplomats
according to international conventions. But since Saudi Arabia
sees not only its interests, but also its survival in the
continuation of tensions, therefore it has used this issue
as another excuse to increase tension and conflict.
We urge both countries to engage in dialogue.
We call on both countries, Saudi Arabia and Iran, to use
all possibilities to improve their bilateral relations.
