'I don't believe the Iranians want a broader war': Saudi foreign minister In an interview with FRANCE 24 on tensions in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said his country was "concerned" about a regional war. Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said he feared that "the longer the conflict in Gaza goes on, the more danger there is for miscalculation, the more danger there is for escalation". But the top Saudi diplomat also sounded a note of optimism, saying "I don't believe that the Iranians want a broader war".
