Iranian university students have started a three-day strike outside the Saudi Embassy in the capital Tehran to voice their condemnation of the Saudi invasion of Bahrain, reported Press TV.
The strike started Thursday as whom Press TV says were "students from universities in Tehran and Qazvin" gathered outside the Saudi Embassy in the Iranian capital to protest the Saudi military intervention in crisis-hit Bahrain.
The strike is expected to continue for three days, Mehr news agency reported.
On Monday, the Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry stated that it may recall its diplomatic mission in Iran if the diplomats' security is not ensured.
Recently a student demonstration took place in front of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Tehran. The demonstrators threw several "molotov cocktails" into the building to incite aggression and voiced slogans against bringing the Saudi troops into Bahrain.
Earlier, the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf accused Iran of fomenting unrest in Kuwait and Bahrain. Tehran meanwhile condemns Saudi Arabia for its interference in Bahrain's internal affairs, to where troops were brought on March 14 to prevent Shiite uprising - Shiites constitute 70 percent of the local population.
On Tuesday, the Iranian spiritual leader's military adviser Yahya Rahim Safavi accused Saudi Arabian authorities in the suppression of public unrest in Bahrain. In this regard Safavi warned about a possible armed intervention in the affairs of the Saudi kingdom.
To help the Bahraini government crush the anti-government protests, the neighboring Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait have deployed their troops to the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
Tension has been running high between Iran and its Arab neighbours across the Gulf, with the two sides locked in a war of words since Shiite-led protests against Bahrain's ruling Sunni dynasty broke out in mid-February.
A joint GCC-EU statement issued after Wednesday's meeting backed the deployment.
It said the two blocs played up "the importance of respect for the sovereignty of GCC member states and recognised the GCC is entitled to take all necessary measures to protect" their citizens.
Iran has strongly denounced the military invasion of Bahrain and called for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Bahrain, urging Manama to pay heed to demands of Bahraini anti-government protesters.
