Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has dismissed the seven missiles the Houthi insurgents fired at Saudi Arabia from Yemen on Sunday as “a last-ditch effort” that only showed they were weak. The Crown Prince told The New York Times that Saudi Arabia is now seeking to end the war through a political process, maintaining military pressure on the Houthis. He also criticized the Iran nuclear deal, saying the agreement would delay but not prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. “Delaying it and watching them getting that bomb, that means you are waiting for the bullet to reach your head,” Prince Mohammed told The New York Times. He stressed that Iran is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons so that it could act freely in the Middle East without fear of retribution. “We know the target of Iran,” he said. “If they (Iranians) have a nuclear weapon, it’s a shield for them to let them do whatever they want in the Middle East, to make sure that no one attacks them.” He said that the current nuclear agreement should be replaced with one that would ensure that Iran never obtained a nuclear weapon while also addressing Iran’s other activities in the Middle East. “I believe Islam is hijacked,” Prince Mohammed said, criticizing the way he said that groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist organizations like ISIS and al-Qaeda had distorted the religion.
