Saudi foreign minister blasts Iran nuclear deal as flimsy

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir says he told Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov that the Iran nuclear deal was too weak.

At a joint press conference, Jubeir says the pact falls short “particularly with regard to the time period that prevents Iran from enriching uranium,” according to the Arab News website.

He also says the agreement needs to address Iran’s support for terror and its development of ballistic missiles.
