MORONI: Indian Ocean archipelago and Saudi Arabia ally the Comoros said Friday it had cut diplomatic relations with Iran over what it termed Tehran's "aggression" towards Riyadh.
A foreign ministry statement said the Comoros viewed Tehran as "interfering" in "the internal affairs of certain countries" and "not respecting diplomatic conventions".
Comoros' foreign ministry said it had called on the Iranian ambassador to clear his desk.
The move came a week after the Comoros, a member of the Arab League, recalled its own ambassador from Tehran judging that Iran has created a climate of "gratuitous aggression" towards Riyadh.
Several Arab countries followed suit and severed or reduced relations with Iran.
"One cannot violate with impunity the sovereignty of diplomatic missions," the Comoros foreign ministry director general Ahamada Hamadi told AFP, referring to the ransacking.
