Reuters - Saudi Arabias foreign minister on Tuesday welcomed a U.S. decision to end all Iran sanction waivers by May, saying it was a necessary step to halt Tehrans policy in the region.
Saudi Arabia fully supports this step taken by the United States as it is necessary to force the Iranian regime to end its sponsorship of terrorism around the world, Ibrahim al-Assaf said in comments carried on state media.
He reiterated a statement issued by the kingdoms energy minister on Monday that the worlds largest oil exporter would coordinate with other oil producers to ensure an adequate crude supply and balanced markets after Washingtons announcement.
