Speaking to presenter Setareh Derakhshesh, Al-Faisal said there needed to be more clarity on the restrictions that were agreed on the Iranian nuclear deal. He said he understood that under the agreement the development of Iran’s missile program was restricted. But he said this was something Iranian officials had denied. Derakhshesh asked the prince about Iran’s stance where it claims the missile system is for defense purposes only, but that the country says no one “should tell them what to do”, that they are “free to do what they like”. The prince question Iran’s definition of “defensive purposes”, adding that he recently attended a conference where he had reviewed declarations by Iranian officials that outlined the presence of its military in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and in Yemen.
