RIYADH - Gulf Arab countries will not be used as a launch pad for any military attack on Iran, a powerful Saudi royal was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz said Iran had no interest in striking its oil-producing Arab neighbors if it comes under attack from the United States.
“I think the brothers in Iran are totally aware that … Iran will not be a source of harm for their neighbors and brothers … These countries (Arab neighbors) will not be a source of harm for Iran,” he said in remarks late on Saturday carried by state news agency SPA.
“Respect and consideration are mutual. I speak for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (relations) with Iran and for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC),” he added, referring to Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
