Adel Jubeir made the comment at a joint a joint news conference with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini. He said the remarks were unacceptable for his country. The reaction came after Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham rejected a claim by Manama accusing Tehran of involvement in smuggling arms to the tiny kingdom.
