Saudi Arabia and the US traded charges with Iran yesterday over an alleged plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington, deepening divisions and sharpening a contest for power in the Gulf.
The Saudis, long at odds with Tehran, said Iran would “pay the price” for an exotic plot described by US officials to assassinate their ambassador. The US threatened further sanctions on Iran, while Tehran called the accusation a fabrication designed to sow discord in the region.
