Iranian court issues verdict for suspects in Saudi embassy attack

Iran's judiciary has issued verdicts for 20 people accused of storming Saudi diplomatic missions in January, an official was quoted as saying by the judiciary news agency.

The Iranian government condemned the assault and President Hassan Rouhani, keen to improve Tehran's long-strained relations with its neighbors and the West, asked the judiciary to punish the protesters and prevent further attacks.

The verdicts for 20 defendants had been issued and "will be announced soon," Reuters reports.
