Washington, Rabi'I 24, 1437, Jan 4, 2016, SPA -- Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson, Two Republican Candidates for the US Presidency, refused Iran's critics to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after implementing legitimate rulings against 47 individuals. According to Huffington Post's US website, Fiorina said that “I take the Iranian condemnation with a huge grain of salt. This is a regime that tortures citizens routinely, that thinks nothing of executions, that still holds four Americans in jail.” "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is our ally. Iran is a real and present threat in the region," she added. For his part, Carson said that "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been one of our strongest allies in the Middle East, and I think it’s unfortunate that we put them in the position we have by showing the support to Iran regarding nuclear agreement signed between (5+1) group and Iran.” --SPA 20:30 LOCAL TIME 17:30 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
