Foad Izadi, a professor at the University of Tehran, says Wednesday’s terrorist attacks in Tehran should be blamed on Saudi Arabia because the regime in Riyadh supports an ideology which is spreading terrorism across the region.

“We have the Saudi government financing the mentality of Wahhabism that is the root cause of people going to places and blowing themselves up. People don’t do that just for the money, the ideology behind it comes from the Saudi clan,” Izadi told Press TV on Wednesday.
