As long as Iran's aggressive policies continue, it's going to be bad for the region. Iran has to decide whether it wants a revolution or a nation-state.

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

We don't tolerate terrorism. We go after the terrorists and those who support them and those who justify their actions.

Bashar Assad has said many things. We will see in the near term whether he is serious about a political process.

Is Russia worried that defeating Daesh will open the door for defeating Bashar Assad? That would be a different story. But I don't think World War III is going to happen in Syria.

It seems people don't read or listen. Our scholars and our media have been very outspoken. We were the first country in the world to hold a national public awareness campaign against extremism and terrorism. Why would we not want to fight an ideology whose objective is to kill us?

There is nothing to encourage. The Iranians should just stay away from us.
