Iran on Friday lashed out at Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, calling him a “simple-mind” after the royal likened Iran’s supreme leader to Adolf Hitler.
“These words are worthless ... Because they come from a simple-mind full of illusions who speaks only bitterness and lies,” said Iranian Foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi. In an interview with CBS television, crown Prince said that if Tehran develops a nuclear weapon, Riyadh will follow.
“Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible,” he said.
