said Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al - Jubeir , that Iran is the source of terrorism in the region, noting that his country has suffered since 1979 

, said al - Jubeir , during a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington , on Thursday, the United States and Saudi Arabia have worked for years to fight terrorism and contain Iran . 

Adel al-Jubair explained that the security and military cooperation with the United States goes back decades. 

"Today there are many challenges facing our region, especially in Iraq and Syria, and the need to uphold legitimacy in Yemen," he said
The Saudi foreign minister said that Riyadh is working to contain Iran, pointing out that there are other options if Washington relinquished the nuclear agreement. 

He strongly criticized the Iranian actions, saying that Iran is the source of terrorism in the region, and interferes with the affairs of regional countries, as well as the violation of international laws and principles of good neighborliness. 

"We have suffered from it since 1979, since the Iranian revolution, when it declared that it is responsible for every Shiite in the world. Nevertheless, we extended the hand of friendship, but we were faced with destruction. Therefore, Tehran must take responsibility for its actions and its violations of Security Council laws and resolutions, "He said. 

As for the nuclear agreement, he stressed that defects are flawed, especially in terms of inspection mechanisms, considering that it will not solve the problem of Iran.

Al-Jubeir said the nuclear deal needed to be modified in the inspection mechanisms, adding that Riyadh was cooperating with Washington in the face of Tehran's influence.
