IFP - An advisor to Saudi Arabian royal court, Saud al-Qahtani, has denied as baseless the reports that the royal family has ordered Saudi media not to attack Iran.
On his Twitter account, Qahtani claimed Qatari government is behind these rumours and added the Qatari officials are seeking to justify their relations with Iran by contributing to such reports.
The Arab newspaperRay al-Youmquoted on Monday some high-ranking sources in Saudi Arabia as saying Saudi media (print and electronic) have been banned by the royal court from criticising Iran and the Shiite Muslims.
This comes as the Al Arabiya website has already published two anti-Iran stories on its front page, including repeated accusations against Iran. According to a Farsi report by theFars News Agency, the false stories reveal that Iran is still under the criticism of Saudi media.
