TEHRAN, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry strongly rejected the recent anti-Iran remarks by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Tasnim news agency reported on Saturday.
"Given the past immature, absurd and ill-assessed statements and behaviors shown by Saudi crown prince, the world community gives no credit any more to his remarks," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi was quoted as saying.
In an interview with The New York Times published on Thursday, Bin Salman had made an analogy between Iran's growing regional influence and Germany's hegemonic policies in the Hitler era.
He told the newspaper, "We learned from Europe that appeasement doesn't work. We don't want the new Hitler in Iran to repeat what happened in Europe in the Middle East."
The Saudi interference in the internal affairs of Lebanon, which used to be the traditional ally of Saudi Arabia, has put the kingdom in deep trouble, said Qasemi.
