The UK-based Independent daily reported a senior Saudi official with connections to the security apparatus said sanctions relief for Iran can lead to more bloodshed in Syria and escalate the threat of terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom.
While Bashar Assad is suffering major blows recently and losing more ground, and as Iran-backed Hezbollah has faced major setbacks, Iran under the nuclear agreement will receive more money and export more oil, and thus increase its support for the Assad regime. Iran is exporting instability throughout the Middle East, including Yemen and Bahrain, he added.
