Riyadh, Jun 16 (IANS): Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud said on Sunday that his country wants no war in the region but will not hesitate to deal with any threat.

"The Kingdom does not want a war in the region, but we will not hesitate to deal with any threat to our people, out sovereignty and out vital interests," he said in an interview with the Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.

He also urged the international community to take a firm stance on Iran's recent actions in the region, reports Xinhua news agency.
