BUDAPEST — Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir said that Iran was rooted in the past and needed to take stock of their situation if they hoped to have a dialogue.

"How can we engage in dialogue with Tehran," when the Iranian constitution instructs that the Iranian regime must export the Islamic revolution, Al-Jubeir said here.

He was speaking during his official visit to Hungary on Friday and where he met with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

Al-Jubeir also said that the Iranian narrative was twofold and that the Iranian regime must change its behavior. "Sanctions were imposed on Iran because of its behavior in the region and not at our desire," Al-Jubeir said.

“The Kingdom did not target Iran neither by missiles nor by militias, so it should stop this,” he added.

During his earlier meeting with Szijjarto, they reviewed the bilateral relations between the two countries, and the most prominent developments in the regional and international situations of common interest. — Al-Arabiya English
