ISLAMABAD, MAR 14 (DNA) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Tuesday said that his country was ready to cooperate if Saudi Arabia gets serious in resolving the differences.

“We have always said stability of Saudi Arabia is in our interest. Similarly, the stability in the region is also in Iran’s interest. We have made offers for dialogue. Unfortunately, our neighbours have always have had the perception that security can be bought. But, security can never be bought,” Zarif told.

When asked about chances of rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the Iranian diplomat said there was a list of grievances between the two countries. “However, if the Kingdom wants to resolve the issues then Iran is ready to offer assistance. But, if it wants to engage in the politics of confrontation then it is a dead-end,” he asserted.

To a question about the future of US-Iran nuclear deal, Zarif said the United States was in no position to either violate the deal or set conditions. “Unfortunately President Trump has made a habit of being unpredictable and he has turned that habit into being unreliable,” he said.
