TEHRAN (Basirat) :Saudi Arabia's foreign minister called what he said was Qatar's demand for an internationalization of the Muslim hajj pilgrimage a declaration of war against the kingdom, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television said on Sunday, but Qatar said it never made such a call.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Monday that the kingdom’s relationship with Iran is “tense” at the moment, noting “it would be wonderful to live in peace and harmony with Iran.”
