Iran nuclear deal: Saudi Arabia warns it will strike out on its own

15. Seems they are angry because they did not control our foreign policy

To me, every country should have their own foreign policy. Saudi Arabia certainly has always had its own policy - and most of us can remember when they did things that were not in our interest. This includes being part of OPEC which at one point controlled the price of oil and sometimes threatened to use that control politically.

I don't really get why they have a problem with the US and Iran secretly sounding on whether to go for a deal. It is pretty easy to realize that telling every ME country what we were doing would quickly jeopardize the entire effort as one country or another publicly condemned the effort.

Not to mention, Saudi Arabia has been at odds with the US for the last year - or longer. For one, they wanted us to be militarily involved in Syria - and they did not mean the action Obama spoke of because of chemical weapons use. The US has publicly defended its own policies to Saudi Arabia - http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/kerry-meets-with-saudi-king-abdullah-amid-policy-differences-on-mideast-issues/2013/11/04/4dbf204a-4554-11e3-a196-3544a03c2351_story_1.html

Personally, I am glad that the administration is looking at OUR national interests - not that of countries like Saudi Arabia.
