King Salman of Saudi Arabia has sharply criticized Iran, saying “drastic action” is needed to ensure that the country does not acquire lethal weapons of mass destruction.
The king accused Iran of interfering in the affairs of its neighbors, which has led to an increase in terrorism and fueling conflict and fear.
Experts say Saudi Arabia has endorsed Mr. Trump’s US plan to put pressure on Iran, which includes imposing sanctions that will affect the country’s economy.
However, President-elect Joe Biden’s caretaker government is expected to ease sanctions on Iran.
