Iran Directed Attack on Saudi Embassy
(Al-Arabiya) Saleh Hamid - In an audio recording revealed by sources close to the opposition Green Movement inside Iran, Hassan Kurdmihan, an extremist Iranian cleric, can be heard in a series of calls as he directed members of the Basij and Revolutionary Guards to burn and destroy the Saudi embassy in Iran and seize all documents inside it, in an attack which took place earlier this year. Kurdmihan can be heard telling his followers: "The attack has been carried out upon a green light from the government and the regime. This is why security forces allowed raiding the embassy and did not act (against us)." Kurdmihan had earlier confessed to being the mastermind behind the attack. He had also spoken about the "collusion" of the Rouhani government, which he claimed did not prevent the attack on the embassy but rather facilitated it.
