NCRI –\u00a0Maldives\u2019 Ambassador to Saudi Arabia revealed that his country has rejected an Iranian regime\u2019s request to start a radio station in the country.<\/p>\n
Interviewing with \u2018Asharq Al-Awsat\u2019 newspaper, Abdullah Hamid said that his country is devoid of sectarianism and religious extremism, and doesn\u2019t need to promote any other ideology.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are a Muslim country\u201d, he said, \u201cWe don\u2019t have sectarianism or similar issues in our country. We are quite familiar with the Iranian regime\u2019s true ideology and its negative policies in the region, which is nothing new. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve been doing for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maldives\u2019 Ambassador to Saudi Arabia also reminded that his country cut its relations with the Iranian regime in May 2016 following the attacks to Saudi embassy and consulate in Tehran and Mashhad, respectively. \u201cWhat happened was absolutely unacceptable\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
Hamid said that there are evidence and facts showing that the Iranian regime is involved in many cases in the region, including Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. \u201cThey deploy a third party to indirectly target Saudi Arabia. While civilians are being killed with ballistic missiles fired by Houthis to Saudi Arabia, the fingers are pointed at the Iranian regime at the end of the investigations. Thus, the Iranian regime is playing a negative role in the region, and that\u2019s something that we don\u2019t accept.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abdullah Hamid pointed out that diplomatic relations between Maldives and Tehran has never been strong.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had relations with them, though it was never strong \u201c, he said, \u201csometimes the Iranian regime offered to help us, acting like someone who was window-dressing. They often asked us to allow them set up a radio station in Maldives, a request that we instantly rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
