Crown Prince On Iran's Nuclear Weapon

In connection with the possibility of Iran eventually acquiring nucear weapons, Bin Salman was asked if he was worried about it.

바카라 웹사이트"We are concerned about any country getting a nuclear weapon", the crown prince replied.

"That's a bad move," he said. "They don't need to get a nuclear weapon because you cannot use it. Even if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, any country uses a nuclear weapon that means they are having a war with the rest of the world."

It spearheaded the return of Syria to the Arab League, and in March agreed to a Chinese-brokered deal to restore diplomatic relations with Iran, its main regional rival.
