Imposing more sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme would not be a quick enough solution, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has said.
Prince Saud al-Faisal said the threat posed by Iran demanded a "more immediate solution" than sanctions.
He spoke in Riyadh alongside US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who earlier said Iran was "becoming a military dictatorship".
On Tuesday Turkey's foreign minister is due in Iran aiming to mediate.
Turkey is a Nato member, and Ahmet Davutoglu is expected to try and promote a deal on Tehran's nuclear programme between Turkey's western allies and Iran's Islamic government.
More sanctions?
Speaking at a joint Riyadh news conference with Mrs Clinton, Prince Saud said: "Sanctions are a long-term solution. They may work, we can't judge.
THE SAUDIS ARE RIGHT.
THE TIME TO WHEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO ATTACK IRAN IS FAST APPROACHING.

This will be decided in Moscow between Bibi and Putin. That's why Hillary's talking tough on behalf of an administration that continues to block the sanctions passed by Congress.
