Iran's Rouhani says ties with Saudis deserve to be warmer
NEW YORK - The relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia deserves to be better, though differences between the two oil-producing Middle Eastern states appear to be narrowing, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday.
"Our relationship with Saudi Arabia ... deserves to be warmer," Rouhani told a group of senior editors in New York ahead of the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly. "Saudi Arabia's positions are getting closer and closer to us."
He added that if the two nations' differences are truly narrowing, "relations with Saudi Arabia will grow closer."
