On the Iranian nuclear project, Prince Saud said "We have plainly told the Iranians that we are working for a Middle East and Gulf that are free from all weapons of mass-destruction, and Iran has confirmed that it believes in this policy." Prince Saud added that 'only the future will confirm if Iran is genuinely going in this direction." "Anyway, more weapons don't necessarily mean more security," he noted. Asked if the Islamic trend has won the municipal elections in Riyadh, Prince Saud said 'the municipal elections were a test, and each party has tried to interpret it in a manner that benefits it'. 'Anyway, we will benefit from this experience', he added.--SPA1441 Local Time 1141 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/255296
