Saudi Arabia says it should be a part of any potential negotiations between the incoming U.S. administration and Iran on a new nuclear deal.

Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud tells CNBC that President Donald Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign set the groundwork for a new agreement with Iran.

Such an accord could be labeled the "JCPOA++," he added. The JCPOA, or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is a 2015 agreement between Iran and world powers which limited the country's nuclear ambitions in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. The original agreement was signed by the five permanent members of the United Nations' Security Council — China, France, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S., plus Germany.

Other signatories to the 2015 accord have stood by the agreement, but there is talk that a renegotiated pact could be on the cards, with more pressure on Iran over missile programs and other regional issues. A new agreement has been touted as a "JCPOA+" — that is, like the original deal but with more conditions attached.

CNBC has contacted Iranian officials for a response to Al Saud's comment and is yet to receive a reply.
