Saud Al-Faysal is inciting the world against Iran, so that it will not obtain nuclear weapons. I would like to ask you, Your Highness Prince Al-Faysal: How would an Iranian nuclear weapon, if it is obtained, harm you? The Iranians say that their project is for peaceful purposes, but I support an Iranian nuclear bomb, in order to offset the Israeli bomb.
