Iran's Zarif urges Trump to discuss avoiding another 9/11 with Saudis
Saudi Arabia denies providing any support for the 19 hijackers, most of whom were Saudi citizens
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has written an editorial urging US President Donald Trump to bring up extremism with Saudi Arabia (AFP)

Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, in an editorial published on Sunday advised US President Donald Trump to discuss how to avoid another September 11 attack with the Saudi hosts of his first official visit abroad.

Tehran and Riyadh are regional arch-rivals that accuse each other of sponsoring fundamentalist militias aligned to their competing sects of Islam in warzones across the Middle East.

Critics of Saudi Arabia say its strict view of Islam fuels Sunni extremism, and some even accuse the kingdom of responsibility for the 2001 September 11 attacks.

Saudi Arabia denies providing any support for the 19 hijackers, most of whom were Saudi citizens, who killed nearly 3,000 people in 2001.
