Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has touched on “some of Iran’s progresses”, telling the Saudi defense minister in Tehran that the Islamic Republic is ready to share them with the kingdom.  

Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, brother of Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman, called on Ayatollah Khamenei in Tehran Thursday afternoon to present the message of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman.  

“We believe that the relationship between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia will be beneficial for both countries and the two countries can complement each other,” the Leader said. 

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the expansion of relations between the two countries has enemies. “These hostile motives must be overcome, and we are ready for this,” he said.
