Saudi Minister: 'Iran’s Policies Are Not Acceptable And Have to Change'

Al Jazeera

“Everybody is trying to avoid war in the region," al-Jubeir told FRANCE 24. “War would be dangerous for everyone. However the escalation has always come from the Iranian side. Iran attacked tankers in the Gulf, not once but twice. Iran sent ballistic missiles and drones through its proxies the Houthis against Saudi Arabia’s oil pipeline and the Saudi airport. The Iranians have engaged in aggressive behaviour and threatening moves and so it’s really up to the Iranians to de-escalate”.

The minister refused to rule out a military response to Iran’s policy aggressions, arguing that Saudi Arabia had spent forty years trying to remedy hostilities through further talks, but without success. Though support for additional sanctions would definitely be on the table.
