TEHRAN, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- The chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said Saturday that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) "support terrorist acts inside Iran."

Saudi Arabia and the UAE would face "retaliatory measures" for their supports to terrorist acts inside Iran, Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted as saying by IRGC website.

Iran will no longer tolerate the "conspiracies" of Saudi Arabia and the UAE in this regard, Jafari said.

The IRGC commander made the remarks in a reference to the Wednesday terrorist attack against the Iranian security forces in the southeast of the country in which 27 IRGC forces were killed and 13 others were injured.

Earlier, top Iranian officials blamed foreign intelligence agencies for the deadly terrorist attack on the Iranian security guards.
