Saudi Arabia: Efforts to rid Mideast of nukes must apply to Israel
Amid growing Western efforts to impose harsher measures against Iran over its contentious nuclear, Saudi Arabia expressed doubts on Monday about the usefulness of imposing more sanctions. Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal told a news conference alongside U.S. Secretary in Riyadh that the threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions demands a more immediate solution than sanctions. The Saudi minister also said efforts supported by the U.S. to rid the Middle East of nuclear weapons must apply to Israel.
