No. Iran, as in the national government of the country that is Iran, is worse than Saudi Arabia because of the actions it has taken against the United States. Iran was responsible for the deaths of American soldiers in neighboring Iraq because it took the time to
train and equip Shia insurgents against us. The country's government is responsible for the deaths of some
1,000 United States servicemen and women to date in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are not some unjustly-maligned state.
Saudi 'charities', supported by members of the royal family, have been tied to Al Qaeda and ISIS.

"NEXT Charities Supporting Terrorist Organizations
This internal, top-secret report from the Treasury Department gave the intelligence details behind the decision in August of that year to list two branches the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) and one of its leaders as banned terrorist entities. The Saudi-based charity, an offshoot of the Muslim World League, supported terrorist organizations beginning in the early 1990s "through to at least the first half of 2006." Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the Saudi suit, who obtained a partly redacted copy of the Treasury Department report through the Freedom of Information Act, said other affidavits and statements from charity officials show it is largely run by members of the Saudi royal family."
Other 'charities' have been shown to be guilty as well...

"For example, after his arrest in Indonesia on June 5, 2002, Omar al-Farouq, al-Qaeda's operational point man in Southeast Asia, told his interrogators that al-Qaeda operations in the region were funded through a branch of the Saudi-based al-Haramain Islamic Foundation. According to al-Farouq, "money was laundered through the foundation by donors from the Middle East."

Similarly, in October 2002, when NATO forces raided the Saudi High Commission for Aid to Bosnia (founded by Prince Selman bin Abd al-Aziz and supported by King Fahd) they found before-and-after photographs of the World Trade Center, U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the U.S.S. Cole; maps of government buildings in Washington; materials for forging U.S. State Department badges; files on the use of crop duster aircraft; and anti-Semitic and anti-American material geared toward children. An employee of this charity and another cell member who was in telephone contact with Osama Bin Ladin aide and al-Qa'ida operational commander Abu Zubayda, as well as four other Algerians, are incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay's Camp X-Ray for plotting an attack on the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo. Authorities quickly discovered $41 million were missing from the commission's operating funds."
Members of the Saudi royal family supports those terrorist groups through these 'charities. What I've quoted here is just the tip of an iceberg.
The Saudi government is working with others to uncover the extent of this problem but with small success.
