Saudi Arabia may take further measures against Iran after cutting ties with its regional rival this week, the Saudi foreign minister said on Saturday, in a major row over the kingdom's execution of a Shi'ite Muslim cleric. Adel al-Jubeir's comments came in a press conference after an extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), convened to discuss tensions with Iran after attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions there. "We are looking at additional measures to be taken if it (Iran) continues with its current policies," Jubeir said, without elaborating on what these measures could be. Jubeir also said his country had asked the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, of which Iran is a member, to convene an extraordinary meeting to discuss the aggression against its embassy. (Reuters)   Iran bans imports from Saudi Arabia Iran's government said it had forbidden imports from Saudi Arabia after a Cabinet meeting chaired by President Hassan Rouhani on Thursday morning, according to state news agency IRNA. The Cabinet also reaffirmed a ban on Umrah pilgrimages to Mecca - which are both lucrative for Saudi Arabia and important to Muslims - first imposed in April in response to an alleged sexual assault on two male Iranians by Saudi airport guards. Trade between Saudi Arabia and Iran is small compared with the size of their economies, but tens of thousands of Iranians travel to the Kingdom every year to complete the hajj, as well as Umrah pilgrimages made outside of hajj season.
