 Iran and Saudi Arabia plan to strengthen their relations and clear up misunderstandings, Tehran’s ambassador to Riyadh has said. Mohammad Javad Rasouli Mahallati told Saudi newspaper Al-Watan that Iran and Saudi Arabia should make efforts to clear up misunderstandings in order help promote their relations. Mahallati added current policies adopted by the officials of the two countries show that there is a positive tendency to resolve current disagreements. He went on to say certain countries are trying to fan the flames of current disagreements between Tehran and Riyadh. The ambassador also pointed to Iran’s transparent nuclear program, saying Tehran is ready to show its nuclear facilities to the Saudi experts in order to prove that Western allegations against the Islamic Republic are baseless. Based on its political and religious principles, Iran never seeks to build nuclear bombs, he noted. Elsewhere in his remarks, he described Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz’s message, which was read out during a conference of heads of Persian Gulf littoral states in Abu Dhabi, as important. In the message, the Saudi king called for holding transparent talks with Tehran over its nuclear program in order to clear up any misunderstandings, Mahallati said. The king also said that disputes between Iran and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council should be resolved through talks in order to protect the interests of the Islamic Ummah, he added.
