\n

Prince Faisal also highlighted the continued Iranian attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh last night (Thursday) despite hosting a meeting of Arab leaders. The prince said: “I can’t see it as a coincidence, it’s a clear indication of how Iran feels about diplomacy. It tries to put pressure on its neighbors, and it won’t work.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
