    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned of a possible Iranian-Arab
    and Sunni-Shiite conflict in the region.

    "The U.S. and Western countries are trying to unleash an Iranian-Arab
    and Sunni-Shiite war," Ahmadinejad said in the Iranian city of
    Kermanshahr today. "They are trying to prevent the overthrow of the
    Zionist regime by creating differences among the regional nations,"
    Trend News reported citing Iranian IRNA news agency.

    Bahrain launched riots against the authorities on Feb. 14. The
    government has appealed to Saudi Arabia for help to suppress the
    unrest.

    Saudi Arabia and the UAE have sent their troops to Bahrain.

    Last week, an Iranian committee on foreign policy and national
    security issued a statement protesting the sending of Saudi and UAE
    armed forces to Bahrain.

    The commission warned about the possible consequences of such actions.

    "Playing with fire is not in favour of Saudi Arabia," the committee
    said.

    On Sunday evening, the Cooperation Council of Arab Gulf States convened
    in Riyadh for an extraordinary meeting. Afterwards, a joint statement
    was adopted condemning Iran's interference in the internal affairs
    of the organization's member countries.

    "Iran's interference in Bahrain's internal affairs runs counter to
    international law," the organization said in the statement.
