Saudi Arabia to do best to help reach deal between US, Iran: Crown prince

WASHINGTON

Saudi Arabia will do its best to reach a deal between Iran and the US, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said Tuesday.

"We will do our best to help to reach a deal between the rest of America and Iran," bin Salman, also known as MBS, told reporters at the White House alongside US President Donald Trump.

MBS said Saudi Arabia believes it is good for Iran's future to have a "good deal" that would satisfy the region and the world.

"So, we will do our best to see that they happen," he added.

Trump said Iran wants to "very badly" make a deal.

"I am totally open to it, and we're talking to them, and we start a process. But it would be a nice thing to have a deal with Iran. And we could have done it before the war, but that didn't work out ...but they would very much like, I mean, they may say something else, but they would very much like to have a deal," he added.
