Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday Saudi Arabia could not hide its "crime" of executing a Shi'ite cleric by cutting ties with Tehran, but Iranian authorities disowned an attack on the Saudi embassy in Iran.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Sudan broke all ties with Iran and the United Arab Emirates downgraded its relations on Monday after the Saudi embassy in Tehran was stormed by protesters. Kuwait recalled its ambassador to Iran on Tuesday.
An angry mob broke into the embassy on Saturday night and started fires following protests against the kingdom's execution of cleric Nimr al-Nimr, a prominent critic of Saudi policy, and three other Shi'ite Muslims as well as 43 Sunni al Qaeda jihadists.
"Saudi Arabia cannot hide its crime of beheading a religious leader by severing political relations with Iran," Rouhani was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA in a meeting with Danish Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen in Tehran.
"We believe diplomacy and negotiations are the best way to solve problems between countries," he added. "Regional countries can save the region from terrorism dangers through unity."
The Iranian government has distanced itself from the attack on the Saudi embassy and even suggested foreign elements organized it.

With luck there will be a nuclear exchange and all that gets vaporized or irradiated.
Well, one can hope...
At this point I don’t care. I hope we drill “here and now” and let “Allah sort them out”. Enough. These people are insane. We don’t need to be dragged into it.
They intend to drag the whole world “into it”. And as George Washington once warned us, if we garner a “reputation of weakness”, the ones that are here will quickly engage in a free-for-all.
But you don't always get to "negotiate" with Barack Hussien Obama.
Yea. Straight into Dabiq.
The world will have dodged a bullet if all we have to worry about is ISIS.
Nay, there could be larger battles afoot.
Lets hope Zero doesn’t try to intercede. The kiss of death. Literally.
The Saudi nuke buildup will exceed Iran’s slow buildup in short order. Meanwhile, word is that western interests with bankers and Middle Eastern friends will be running oil prices down to around $20 for about five years as part of a global effort to stop Russia’s designs on expansionism.
