CBS: Saudi Arabia's heir to the throne talks to 60 Minutes
In his first interview with an American television network, Mohammed bin Salman shared his thoughts on Iran, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, his country’s troubled past and its hopeful future
At 32 years old, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is already the most dominant Arab leader in a generation. This week, he embarks on a cross-country American tour, where he'll pitch his kingdom to a skeptical U.S. public.

In his first interview with an American television network, he was eager to discuss his country's promise and its troubled reputation head-on.
