Likening the Iranian leader to Hitler, Saudi Arabia\u2019s crown prince said a nuclear Iran would require his country to acquire a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible,\u201d Mohammed bin Salman said in an interview with the CBS newsmagazine \u201c60 Minutes\u201d due to air Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bin Salman said Iran posed a threat because of what he said were its expansionist policies, likening the country\u2019s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to create his own project in the Middle East very much like Hitler, who wanted to expand at the time,\u201d Bin Salman said in an excerpt of the interview released by CBS. \u201cMany countries around the world and in Europe did not realize how dangerous Hitler was until what happened, happened. I don\u2019t want to see the same events happening in the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n

The language reflects similar warnings about Iran by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Additionally, casting Hitler and the Nazis as historical villains was once unusual in many Arab nations, where until recently Holocaust denial was prevalent.<\/p>\n

Bin Salman has forged a close friendship with President Donald Trump\u2019s Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is spearheading Trump\u2019s drive to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.<\/p>\n

Israel and Saudi Arabia both opposed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration. Trump has said the deal, which swaps sanctions relief for a rollback in Iran\u2019s nuclear program, should be drastically amended or scrapped.<\/p>\n
