As the rift between the two countries deepens, Iran has banned the importation of all products from Saudi Arabia with immediate effect.
A few days ago, Saudi Arabia took the first blow by cutting off diplomatic ties with Iran.
According to an AFP report: “The cabinet has banned the entry of all Saudi products and products from Saudi Arabia.”
The Iranian government was quoted to have said this in a statement released on Thursday, January 7.
The government also noted that a ban on Iranians travelling to the Saudi holy city of Mecca for the umrah pilgrimage was also in place “until further notice”.
The decision was made in a cabinet meeting chaired by President Hassan Rohani.
