Saudi King Meets Obama, Reiterates Concern Over Iran Deal

By Ben Ariel

King Salman of Saudi Arabia meets Obama in Washington, his first visit to the United States since assuming the throne.

King Salman of Saudi Arabia on Friday met President Barack Obama in Washington, on his first trip to the United States since assuming the throne in January, the BBC reported.
During the meeting, according to the network, the king reiterated the concern of Gulf states over the recent deal on Iran's nuclear program.
Gulf states had been repeatedly expressing their concern about the terms of the nuclear deal with Iran, warning that a final agreement could allow Iran to keep the technologies needed to produce nuclear weapons.
They did, however, say they support the deal during a recent visit to the region by Secretary of State John Kerry.
According to the BBC, Obama pressed King Salman to ensure humanitarian organizations are given unrestricted access to Yemen, where the Saudis are leading a coalition against the Houthi rebel movement.
"We share concerns about Yemen and the need to restore a function government that is inclusive and that can relieve the humanitarian situation there," Obama said after the meeting.
