Arab foreign ministers gathered in Cairo today on Saudi Arabia's request for an extraordinary meeting to discuss alleged violations committed by Iran in the region.<br/> <br/>The Arab League meeting comes as tensions have been rising between long-standing rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran over League member Lebanon and other issues. Saudi Arabia and Iran have for decades stood on opposing sides of conflicts in West Asia, including Syria and Yemen. A committee is to prepare a draft resolution on Iran which will be discussed later by all ministers.<br/> <br/>The meeting is also expected to address a Yemen rebel missile that was intercepted near Riyadh on the 4th of this month and a pipeline fire in Bahrain on 10th. Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has accused Iran of direct military aggression against the kingdom by supplying the Yemen rebels with ballistic missiles, but Tehran has denied any involvement. Bahrain has also blamed Iran for the pipeline fire.
