'This is just an escalation of tensions,' a senior Russian diplomat warned of U.S. plans to maintain up to 3,000 troops in Saudi Arabia.
Russia has condemned the United States' plan to send troops to Saudi Arabia, a decision likely to be seen as a provocation by rival Iran.
"Our concept contains the philosophy of joint efforts without any dividing lines and confrontation," Bogdanov added."On the contrary, [the Russian concept envisages] the involvement of all parties concerned without exception—states and regions, Arab countries, not only members of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Iran, Iraq, maybe someone else."
With tensions already high, missiles and drones struck two Saudi oil facilities in a September attack claimed by Yemen's Zaidi Shiite Muslim Ansar Allah, or Houthi, movement, but blamed on Tehran by Washington and Riyadh. The U.S. announced it would send an additional 1,500 troops to Saudi Arabia and shore up defenses in a bid to further deter a perceived threat from Iran.
