Saudi prince vows to confront threats after U.S. blames Iran for tanker attacks
Source: NBC News
Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to confront regional threats, the country's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has said in an interview published days after the U.S. blamed Iran for attacking two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
The kingdom does not want war in the region, but we will not hesitate to deal with any threat to our people, our sovereignty and our vital interests," Salman told influential pan-Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.
In the interview published Sunday, the crown prince blamed Saudi Arabia's arch rival Iran and its agents for carrying out acts of sabotage to four tankers near the port of Fujairah, including two Saudi carriers, last month.
The attacks on two oil tankers near the strategic Strait of Hormuz earlier this week stoked fears of a broader conflict in the region. Iran has denied any role in the incidents.
