Gulf Arab states said on Wednesday it would be dangerous to separate global powers’ nuclear deal with Iran from Tehran’s missile program and “destabilizing” behavior, and reiterated a call that they be included in the dialogue.
World powers and Iran entered a sixth round of talks in Vienna on Saturday to revive the 2015 nuclear pact which Saudi Arabia and its allies opposed for not tackling their concerns, and which the United States abandoned in 2018.
The statement by Gulf Arab foreign ministers stressed “the danger of separating implications of the nuclear deal” from Iran’s missiles program and support for regional proxies, and urged Tehran to engage seriously with talks and avoid escalations.
