The Arab League will hold an extraordinary meeting next Sunday at the request of Saudi Arabia to discuss "violations" committed by Iran in the region, according to a memorandum.
Bahrain and the UAE supported the Saudi request, which was also approved by Djibouti, the current chair of the pan-Arab bloc, said the document shown to AFP by diplomats on Sunday.
The Saudi request was based on a missile the kingdom says its air defences intercepted near Riyadh after being fired from Yemen on November 4.
