Zarif: Riyadh seeks to derail nuclear program deal

Saudi Arabia is trying to disrupt the deal on the Iranian nuclear program and exacerbate tensions in the region, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in a letter to the New York Times.

"Saudi Arabia seems to fear that the removal of the smoke screen of the nuclear issue will expose the real global threat: its active sponsorship of violent extremism. The strategy to derail the nuclear agreement and perpetuate - and even exacerbate - tension in the region has three components: pressuring the West; promoting regional instability through waging war in Yemen and sponsoring extremism; and directly provoking Iran," Gazeta.ru cited the message as saying.
