Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan remarked that “so far the reports [on JCPOA negotiations] show there is some stalling by Iran and we hope this will turn to progress… GCC states prefer to be part of the talks that would be open to any mechanism that addresses their concerns”. The Saudi diplomat went on to state that “we want a long and comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran, and we hope the negotiations will succeed. We want to have a normal relationship with Iran, and that depends on it”.
