Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal says Iran talks waste of time.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal says Iran talks waste of time.(AA).Negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program is a “waste of time” and it should be pushed forward towards time-limited talks, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said on Monday, as Europe confirmed that a ban on oil imports from Iran will go ahead as planned on July 1. The comments came during the joint ministerial meeting between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the European Union (EU) in Luxemburg. “We have agreed on the importance of negotiating with Tehran for the sake of reaching a political solution. Based on our previous experience, negotiations for Iran might be a means to gain more time instead of reaching a result. I believe, planning a time-limit for the negotiations will push Iran to show its real policy. It is not important to talk about the nuclear potentials, but what is happening on the ground is more important,” Faisal said, according to Al Arabiya. The West suspects Iran of seeking to make nuclear weapons under the guise of an energy program and wants it to stop enriching uranium to 20 percent, which brings it dangerously close to levels needed to make a nuclear bomb. Prince Faisal expressed his displeasure that Iran was not responding to all such efforts and its attempts to manipulate.
The Saudi top diplomat underlined the importance of making the Middle East region free of mass-destruction weapons, SPA reported. The EU confirmed earlier Monday that a ban on oil imports from Iran will go ahead as planned on July 1 due to the lack of progress in talks on Tehran’s contested nuclear drive.This meant on the one hand that contracts for importing Iranian oil that were concluded before Jan. 23 “will have to be terminated by July 1.” “From the same date, EU insurers may no more provide third-party liability and environmental liability insurance for the transport of Iranian oil,” the statement said, according to AFP.Confirmation that the embargo will be enforced comes days after talks in Moscow between Iran and world powers on its nuclear program failed to reach a breakthrough.Hmmmm......."The Saudi top diplomat underlined the importance of making the Middle East region free of mass-destruction weapons"....As i said before if Obama protects Israel there will be a very heavy price to pay.Read the full story here.
