RFERL:

Nearly two weeks after the controversy about the disappearance and possible death of Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi during a visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Iran has not reacted to the case.

Tehran could have easily used such a big international issue as propaganda leverage against Saudi Arabia; its regional rival and enemy.

Even the Iranian state TV which is controlled by the office of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and IRGC-linked media outlets such as Fars and Tasnim News Agencies and Javan newspaper have been conspicuously silent about Khashoggi's disappearance.

Perhaps it is because Iran and Saudi Arabi's leaders share the view that they are entitled to murder their opponents anywhere in the world. On the other hand, both states believe other countries should not intervene when Tehran or Riyadh violate human rights.

On the other hand, Iran is currently in the spotlight because of the involvement one of its diplomats in a plot to attack a gathering of the Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq (MeK) in Paris.
