Iran nuclear deal: Saudi Arabia warns it will strike out on its own

[SALMAN F]

The breakup of East Pakistan was imminent due to the over-waged insurgency, but India speed up the process, and by doing so, they saved the lives of your parents and god knows who else.



How dare you speak of masters while Awamiists are still in the house?

LoLz. It was a call, dialed by the Intl. community, not just KSA which means your argument is invalid.



Good job, but this didn't work with hitler, or you or anyone else.

What's that didn't work with hitler???

With so much shale oil flooding the energy market, U.S interest in ME is not that important anymore

The US imports less than %10 from KSA already, our main exports goes to other countries like China, Japan, South Korea, India, and the EU. The US is going to be energy-independent by the next few years, however, assuming that the US will give up or limit its role in the ME is insane! The US's nightmare is to see China or Russia curbing over it - Ghawadr port is a good example -

Just a few days ago, the US neglected all the things it says about the so-called coup in Egypt, sending a new missile craft ship. This took place in parallel with Russia's MoD visit to Egypt to seal an arms deal.

Another factor is that the GCC nations mainly KSA and the UAE have invested heavily in the US market, which means the relations can never turn into a bad marriage over a single issue, otherwise politics would equal love! And doubly is said about Israel.

Saudis need to learn to fight for causes that they think is of vital importance.

Our stance on Egypt, continuing work on Syria speaks for itself. On this issue, it is actually to KSA's best interests to reach an agreement with Iran.

With so much shale oil flooding the energy market, U.S interest in ME is not that important anymore. Saudis need to learn to fight for causes that they think is of vital importance.

Suffice to say same goes for Israel, little Nat been throwing all kinds of tantrums lately !!

go on attack us but if you dont, you are a coward.

Why would we? :/ ..

You had your chances where your military was at its peak to attack us, but you chickened out not one or twice but thrice.

1. ahaha it is like telling maternal uncle's story to mother.
2. oh yea Int. community of KSA lol anyway fk AL.

I know you lost your temper over this.

Next time try to drop your trollic attitude.

One of the main reasons that had lead to the defeat of Germany at the hands of the allied forces was the destruction of the superior Nazi Air Force.


A country without an aggressive Air Force is like a car without a window and a seatbelt.

The Nazi airforce was only superior to that of the soviet , they always feared the American pilots , even American volunteers fought the so called battle of the Britain in the air , what you think brah? I;ve read an entire diary of a Japanese hero-pilot , in it he even describes how junior American pilots knocked out the Japanese aces out of the sky ....

 

[BeyondHeretic]

secular Iran is a good choice.

no , secularity is sissy and neutral , iran has always improved when she was fighting something or some other cause , in this case islam

Saudi Arabia Cautiously Welcomes Iran Nuclear Dea


VOA News
November 25, 2013
Saudi Arabia has joined other Gulf Arab states in cautiously welcoming a nuclear deal between Iran and a group of world powers.

The Saudi government said the agreement "could be" a first step toward a comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear dispute, "provided there is goodwill."


Under the deal signed in Geneva on Sunday, Iran agrees to limit or freeze parts of its nuclear program for six months. In return, the United Nations Security Council and six world powers will ease some sanctions on the Iranian economy.

The negotiations have strained relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States in recent months.

Sunni Arab Gulf nations have long feared that Iran will divert its nuclear activities to make atomic weapons, enabling the Shi'ite-majority nation to boost its regional influence at the expense of Sunnis. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful.

During a Monday speech in San Francisco, President Barack Obama credited the deal with Iran to what he calls clear-eyed and principled diplomacy and unprecedented sanctions.

He said if Iran seizes the opportunity to join the global community, the U.S. can begin to chip away at the mistrust that has existed with Iran for decades.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Monday the European Union could lift some sanctions against Iran next month. But he told French radio that any easing will be "limited, targeted and reversible."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is sending a national security team to Washington in the coming days to consult with the Obama administration on a permanent resolution to the Iranian nuclear dispute. Netanyahu calls the Geneva agreement a "historic mistake" because it allows Iran to maintain nuclear facilities that could be weaponized in the future. Israeli leaders see a nuclear-armed Iran as a threat to their nation's existence because of Iran's frequent calls for Israel's demise.

Monday's Saudi statement said the Geneva agreement should be followed by a comprehensive solution that "leads to the removal of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear, from the Middle East." Riyadh also called for unspecified further steps to "guarantee a right of all states in the region to use nuclear power peacefully."

Four other Gulf states also issued statements expressing hope that the Iran nuclear deal will safeguard regional peace and stability. Those nations include Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
