RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said it supported an agreement to stop Tehran gaining nuclear weapons but emphasised the importance of a strict inspections regime and the ability to re-impose sanctions.

The comments, attributed to "an official source" by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, also stressed that sanctions relating to terrorism and violation of international arms treaties would remain intact. It was the first official Saudi reaction to the agreement between major powers and Tehran.
