TEHRAN (Basirat): As global pressure mounts on Saudi Arabia to hold the kingdom responsible over the fate of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a new report indicates that Riyadh is preparing a list of countermeasures, including reconciliation with Iran, to push back against possible punishments.

TEHRAN(Basirat): We have no problem with Europe. It was the Europeans who clashed with us. I said to a European president, who had recently come to our country, that Europe should liberate itself from following America for its policies.The Europeans have followed American policies. He imposed sanction s on us and they followed him. He did propaganda activities against us and they followed him.
