US President Barack Obama will meet with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir at the White House on Friday in his first meeting with a key ally following the Iran nuclear deal, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing an unnamed White House official.

In the first public comments on the Iran agreement by a senior Saudi official, al-Jubeir did not explicitly endorse or reject the deal at a meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday.

He stressed the need for inspections to verify Iran is complying and the "snapback" of sanctions if it is found to be cheating.
