pressing for a United Nations General Assembly vote Friday on a resolution
condemning an alleged plot to assassinate its envoy to the
United
States
and called on
Iran
to
cooperate with the investigation.
The
U.S.
has
said
Iran
was
behind the plot to kill
Riyadh
's
Washington
ambassador, but the Saudi resolution did not directly accuse
Iran
of
involvement.
Abdulmohsen Alyas, a spokesman for the Saudi U.N. mission, said many countries
would co-sponsor the resolution but he did not name them.
Iran
has
strongly denied involved in the alleged plot against the Saudi envoy, Adel
al-Jubeir, possibly through the bombing of a
Washington
restaurant.
The
U.S.
has
charged an Iranian-American car salesman in the plot and said Iranian officials
planned to hire a Mexican drug cartel to kill the Saudi ambassador.
Iran
's
U.N. ambassador, Mohammad Khazaei, called the proposed resolution
"dangerous" and "unacceptable" in a letter to U.N. leader
Ban Ki-moon, according to Iranian media.
