Iran accused a Saudi coalition warplanes of damaging her embassy and injuring staff after air strike on Yemen's capital, Sanaa.Media noted a foreign departmental spokesman pointing that they had deliberately targeted that location.However, later reports from Iran said missiles had affected only the area of the embassy.
Witnesses in Sanaa said no damage was made to the main building.However the incident can turn out to be less serious than thought. The BBC's Arab Affairs Editor Sebastian Usher points that the growing row between Saudi Arabia and Iran may derail peace initiatives in Syria, Iraq,and Yemen.Saudi allies have moved to taking diplomatic measures against Iran.
However Iran have banned the import of all Saudi goods,as said by Iranian state TV.
A coalition of Saudis who were fighting rebels from Houthi in Yemen however rejected statements that the embassy at Tehran was struck by them . Reports say Iran have decided to lay complaint to the United Nations, in which they said a rocket strike have wounded one of their guards.
The Saudi coalition said there was no operations close to the embassy.
The rivalry all started when Saudi Arabian embassy was attacked by protesters who are protesting against a Saudi execution of a Shia cleric.
The Foreign Minister of Iran Hossein Jaber Ansari had made accusations on Iran on violation of conventions that can protect missions which are diplomatic. He also pointed at the damages made to the building and how the staff was injured.
The Saudis stressed on Iran bringing in unwanted arms by sea to equip the Shia groups who have retained much control over the capital and a reasonable percentage of the country. However Iran and Houthis have actually made their denial. The military spokesman of Saudi Arabia have said that the coalition has asked for exact co-ordinates of embassies which are foreign in the Yemeni capital in order to avoid them during air strikes.
It is not confirmed as to whether the embassy of Iran is at function but many countries have actually withdrawn their staff or changed location to Aden last year.
