DUBAI: Iran has suspended flights to Saudi Arabia for the year-round Umrah pilgrimage over allegations that Saudi security officers sexually assaulted two Iranian boys, Culture Minister Ali Jannati said on Monday.
The move is likely to deepen tensions between the two regional powers, who are at odds over the war in Yemen.
The teenage boys alleged last week that the officers abused them while conducting a security search at Jeddah airport.
