Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated that his country would seek nuclear weapons, if Iran succeeds in acquiring them first, aiming to maintain a balance of power in the Middle East region.

Bin Salman emphasized that possessing nuclear arms holds no advantage and would only lead to entanglement in a global conflict.

He stressed the world's inability to endure incidents akin to Hiroshima due to nuclear weapons.

The Crown Prince affirmed that relations with Iran are progressing, expressing hope for continued advancement to ensure regional security and stability while highlighting the mediating role of China between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
