Saudi Aspires To Good Ties With Iran: Crown Prince
Bin Salman says Iran's negative actions include its nuclear program, supporting Houthis in Yemen.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that his country "aspires to have a good and distinguished relationship with Iran".
Bin Salman's comments came in a televised interview on Tuesday night.
Regarding the position on Tehran, which has been facing repeated Saudi criticism in recent years, the crown prince said, "Iran is a neighboring country and we aspire to have a good and distinguished relationship with it."
"We want a prosperous Iran and to have mutual interests with each other, but our negative problem with it is its negative actions such as its nuclear program or support for outlaw militias in some countries in the region and the ballistic missile program," he said.
