WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Saudi Arabia\u2019s foreign minister said on Tuesday he sees an emboldened Iran acting in a negative manner around the Middle East, endangering shipping, arming Yemen\u2019s Houthis and contributing to political deadlock in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll around the region, Iran continues to be emboldened,\u201d Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud told a U.S. think tank in an online appearance, alluding to reports that Iranian-backed forces were believed to have seized an oil tanker off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran is extremely active in the region with its negative activity, whether it\u2019s continuing to supply the Houthis with weapons or endangering shipping in the Arabian Gulf, which we have got reports coming in today that may indicate additional activity there,\u201d he said. Iran, he added, had abetted the political impasse that has undermined Lebanon\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

Addressing a virtual gathering of the Aspen Security Forum, he also repeated Riyadh\u2019s stance that it could live with a \u201clonger and stronger\u201d version of Iran\u2019s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers if it ensured Tehran never obtained nuclear arms know-how.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly support a deal with Iran as long as that deal ensures that Iran will not now or ever gain access to nuclear weapons technology,\u201d he said, saying Riyadh would welcome an Iran that contributed to regional stability and prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that would require (Iran) engaging in the region as a state actor in a normal way…, not supporting militias, not sending weapons to armed groups, and most importantly, giving up a nuclear program which might be used…to develop nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n
