The [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council foreign ministers meet in Riyadh amid growing tension between Iran and the Arab states, Press TV reported.
The extraordinary meeting comes after Tehran warned Riyadh that it was "playing with fire" by deploying troops in neighboring Bahrain while Kuwait claimed it had uncovered an Iranian spy ring, AFP reported.
Iran has dismissed Kuwait's allegation as baseless.
On Saturday, the council's new Secretary General Abdullatif al-Zayani accused Iran of meddling in the internal affairs of the council member states, claiming it "threatened security and stability in the region."
The council's members are Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
