Saudi Arabia welcomes U.S. move to end all Iran sanction waivers vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
“Saudi Arabia fully supports this step taken by the U.S. as it is necessary to force the Iranian regime to end its policy of destabilising stability and its support and sponsorship of terrorism around the world,” Ibrahim al-Assaf said in comments carried on state media.

Since November, three of the eight countries receiving waiver, Italy Greece and Taiwan, have stopped importing oil from Iran.
