Iran says 'good relations' possible if Saudis change

President Hassan Rouhani says Iran is ready to restore ties with Saudi Arabia if it stops bombing Yemen and cuts its alleged ties with Israel.

ASSOCIATED PRESS--  In a speech broadcast Sunday, Rouhani said the regional rivals could have "good relations" if the Saudis end their "false friendship" with Israel and halt the "inhuman bombardment" of Yemen.

Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic relations with Iran in January 2016 after Saudi execution of a prominent Shia cleric. Tensions spiked again last month after the Houthis fired a ballistic missile that was intercepted near Riyadh.
