Syrian President Bashar Assad exchanged harsh words with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during a phone conversation, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyassah reported on Wednesday.
Sources close to the Syrian leader told the newspaper that Assad had initially called the Iranian president to discuss Ahmadinejad's meeting with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah in Riyadh.
However, the conversation reportedly turned ugly when Ahmadinejad voiced support for the establishment of an international tribunal on the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri - a sensitive subject for Syria, which has been suspected of involvement in the Lebanese leader's death.
The report said that Assad became enraged and launched into an angry tirade, cursing the Iranians at the end of the conversation.

Let them bomb each other into camel dung.
But, what we really want to know is whether he called Ahmadinejad a 'faggot'...
Syria wants to rule Lebannon. Iran wants Hezbollah to rule Lebannon.
This was going to happen sooner or later.
I sense a Jon Stewart bit waiting to happen.
Could be the end of the longest Persian/Arab friendship in history.
I'd like to know what kind of cursing was used. These people have some odd curses.
President Assad:
Why don't you voice support for the establishment of an international tribunal on the taking of American hostages in the late 1970s?
May the crabs of a thousand gorillas infest your nether regions!
That looks more like Osama than Achmadinejad.
No, not Osama Obama! Osama Bin Laden.
Something involving copulation and camels I'm sure.
I miss Baghdad Bob. He was so entertaining.
The Saudis are actually playing a useful role in this. They invested huge $ in rebuilding Lebanon and are none to happy to see Nasrallah and the Iranians have a lot of it bombed to rubble with their adventure with Israel. They are opposing the Iranians whenever possible now, and a little mnetioned fact is that when the pip squeak from Iran visited the KIng of Saudi Arabia last week, he ended up not even spending the night, but rather flew back to Tehran after the Saudis told him to stick it where the sun does not shine.
Maybe Iran wishes to control Syria as well.
I hope this doesn't mean that they'll be seeing other people now.
The House of Saud controls the export of refined gas into Iran.
They can squeeze a bit and see what happens.
But I wonder if this is the Israeli version of The Enquirer. How do they publish this exactly based on what evidence?
