Saudi Arabia hailed on Tuesday Washington’s decision to stop renewing exemptions granted last year to buyers of Iranian oil, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Assaf stressed that the Kingdom completely backs the measure, saying it was necessary to force Iran to quit its destabilizing policies in the region and cease its support of terrorism throughout the world.

The regime in Iran has been using state resources in order to finance these dangerous policies in total disregard to international law, he continued.

He reiterated Saudi Arabia’s firm stance that the international community must hold the regime accountable to respecting international laws and stop its destructive meddling in the affairs of other countries.
