Cairo: Arab League countries on Sunday expressed their full support for Saudi Arabia in dealing with the "hostile acts and provocations of Iran" amid a diplomatic dispute between the bitter rivals.

In a communique, the pan-Arab bloc's foreign ministers meeting in Cairo condemned "hostile Iranian statements" issued in response to the execution of Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia on January 2.
