Then, the Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs and the US Secretary of State answered questions from reporters. In a reply to a question regarding the Iranian file, Prince Saud Al Faisal said "the United States will adhere to the negotiations with Iran and will prevent an Iranian development of atomic bomb", pointing out that this is the objective of the whole international community, but this will not take our eyes off or at the expense of other files as Iran's other files are of key and primary source of concern to the Gulf Cooperation Council, particularly the atomic energy and atomic bomb, he said. But we are worried as much about the nature of work and the tendencies of Iran in the region, which is one of the most leading elements of implanting instability in the region," he said, pointing out Iranian intervention in Iran "Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq," and possibly in other regions. Prince Saud stressed that these practices must be halted should Iran wanted to be part of the solution in the region, not part of the problem. In the same context, Kerry stressed the importance of making the GCC states feel more safer towards Iran's activities that are opposed by all of us, starting with preventing Iran from possessing nuclear weapons, noting that this comes in the first step. Kerry stressed that nothing has changed with regard to our shared commitment to stand in the face of any kind of intervention or any violation of international law or support for terrorism, drawing attention that Iran sponsors terrorism, therefore, efforts will continue to stop it. He called on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to come to Washington during the next month or the coming two months to continue reviewing the cooperative efforts and actions that can be taken in the fields of security and cooperation. "We agree that the task is long and difficult and will not be resolved or identified in a single (agreement) meeting ," Kerry added. --More 21:42 LOCAL TIME 18:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
