RIYADH — In an apparent reversal of position, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister says the Iran nuclear deal appears to have the provisions needed to curtail the Islamic Republic’s ability to obtain an atomic weapon.
Adel al-Jubeir says the kingdom, which was long opposed to a deal, has been reassured by Washington while consultations continue on the agreement. He says it allows for effective inspections, including of military sites, and the possibility of snap-back sanctions.
The foreign minister, who visited Washington in mid-July, says the Saudis are “currently in talks with the American government regarding these details, but it [the deal] generally seems to have achieved these objectives.”
US Defense Secretary Ash Carter visited the kingdom yesterday.
