THE TELEGRAPH: Saudi Arabia has warned that Iran could develop a nuclear weapon before stronger sanctions take effect as Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, sought its support for a new round of UN-backed penalties.
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said Mrs Clinton had correctly identified Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a serious threat.
"I hope that this doesn't lead to what it gives an indication of - which is a very extremist policy," he said.
He also said that "sanctions are a long-term solution. They may work. We can't judge.
"But we see the issue in the shorter term maybe because we are closer to the threat... So we need an immediate resolution rather than a gradual resolution." >>> The Telegraph’s Foreign Staff | Tuesday, February 16, 2010
