He added that “Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iran are regional realities and we must live together in this region, and no one can rule out the other,” noting that “competition between Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates is inevitable, and we can handle it while rejecting the confrontation. “
Araghchi noted that “Saudi Arabia made many mistakes in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, supporting Saddam and creating ISIS, and the biggest mistake Saudi Arabia made was pushing others to confront Iran.”
Araghchi stressed that “there is no place for nuclear weapons in Iranian defense doctrine” and that the opportunity “is still available for Tehran and Washington to return to the nuclear deal, and we hope that the Biden administration will make the right decisions.”
