Iranian parliament member Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the National Security Committee, warned Saudi Arabia on Friday evening that the recently signed defense pact with Turkey and Pakistan will not bring security, telling Riyadh to 'stop begging others.' The statement escalates Rezaei's earlier criticism. At 16:30 Jerusalem time, Rezaei had already stated that the tripartite agreement was directed against Iran and that a paper accord would not provide security, as The Zioneer reported.
