Saudi Arabia intends to continue “detailed talks” with Iran in order to reach a satisfactory agreement for both, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman said, while stressing the need for a strong nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers at talks in Vienna.

He said in remarks to The Atlantic carried by Saudi state media on Thursday that direct talks with Iran would enable reaching “a good situation and mark a bright future” for the region.

“Iran is a neighbour forever, we cannot get rid of them and they cannot get rid of us,” the Saudi state news agency cited him as saying.

“We do not want to see a weak nuclear deal because the result will be the same in the end,” the prince said.
