Bin Salman: We must seek coexistence with Iran; Israel is not an enemy but a possible ally.
While acknowledging that he is looking for ways to coexist with Iran as a neighbor, the Saudi Crown Prince said that he does not look at Israel as an enemy and will probably be an ally of Saudi Arabia in the future.
In part of the interview, a reporter from the Atlantic base asks the Saudi Crown Prince about the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for the American newspaper The Washington Post, noting that the CIA has concluded that he ordered the assassination. Raises the question of how it responds to this conclusion. Muhammad ibn Salman replied: “It is painful to see anyone who is killed unjustly. “So even if a person deserves the death penalty more than anyone else, the judiciary must decide on him and he must also have the right to defend himself.”
In another part of the interview, he spoke about relations with Iran and said: “They are our neighbors and they will remain our neighbors forever. We can not get rid of them and they can not get rid of us, so it is better to solve problems and look for ways that allow us to coexist. We had discussions for four months and heard many statements from Iranian leaders, which were welcomed by us in Saudi Arabia. “We will continue to examine the details of these discussions, and I hope we will reach a position that is good for both countries and creates a bright future for Saudi Arabia and Iran.”
“I believe that any country in the world that has a nuclear bomb – whether Iran or any other country – is dangerous,” the Saudi Crown Prince said, referring to the Iran nuclear deal. “So we do not want to see this, nor do we want to see a weak nuclear deal that ends up being the same.”
