We have no interest in seeing an unstable Yemen or seeing a Yemen that is devastated.

You cannot lecture another people about what you think is right or wrong based on your value system unless you're willing to accept others imposing their value system on you.

We have a legal system, and we have a penal code. We have the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, and people should respect this.

Iran has been a neighbor for millenia, and will continue to be a neighbor for millenia. We have no issue with seeking to develop the best terms we can with Iran.

We expressed our readiness to join the US-led, international coalition against Daesh with special forces. All of this, however, is still in the discussion phase and in the initial planning phase.
