		</div><p>Iran has accused the Saudi-led coalition battling Shiite rebels in Yemen of hitting its embassy there in an overnight air strike.</p>
<p>The accusation comes amid a dangerous rise in tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia in recent days following the kingdom’s execution of a Shiite cleric and attacks on Saudi diplomatic posts in the Islamic Republic.</p>
<p>Analysts had feared the dispute could boil over into the proxy wars between the two Mid East rivals in Yemen and in Syria.</p>
<p>Iran’s state-run news agency said on Thursday that a Saudi-led air strike last night hit its embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, citing the country’s Foreign Ministry spokesman.</p>
<p>However, an Associated Press reporter who reached the site just after the announcement saw no visible damage at the building.</p>
<p>Saudi officials could not immediately be reached for comment.</p>
<p>The diplomatic stand-off between Iran and Saudi Arabia began on Saturday, when the kingdom executed Mr al-Nimr and 46 others convicted of terror charges – the largest mass execution it has carried out since 1980.</p>
<p>Iranian protesters responded by attacking the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad.</p>
<p>Late on Sunday, Saudi Arabia announced it was severing relations with Iran because of the assaults. On Wednesday, Iranian diplomats in Saudi Arabia returned to Tehran, according to state media.</p>
<p>Since Saudi Arabia severed ties to Iran, a host of its allies have cut or reduced their ties as well.</p>
<p>Meanwhile on Thursday, Iran banned the import of goods from Saudi Arabia over the tensions, according to a report by Iranian state television. It said the decision came during an emergency meeting of the Cabinet of President Hassan Rouhani.</p>
