Saudi intelligence source confirms reporting that crown prince has urged Trump to ramp up ‘historic opportunity’ to remake Middle East – key US politics stories from Friday 27 March at a glance
Saudi Arabia has urged the US to ramp up attacks on Iran, a Saudi intelligence source has confirmed, as it decides whether to join the fight directly.
The Saudi source confirmed reporting in the New York Times that said the kingdom’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has urged Donald Trump not to cut short his war against Iran, and that the US-Israeli campaign represented a “historic opportunity” to remake the Middle East.
The intelligence source said Riyadh was not just calling for the military campaign to be continued, but to be intensified. Trump appeared to confirm the report about the crown prince’s role, telling journalists on Tuesday: “Yeah, he’s a warrior. He’s fighting with us.”
Saudi Arabia and Iran, claiming leadership roles of the Sunni and Shia Islamic worlds respectively, have long been regional rivals. According to a leaked US state department cable, the crown prince’s paternal uncle King Abdullah urged the US military in 2008 to “cut off the head of the snake”, a reference to the theocratic regime in Tehran.
trump is such a lil bitch
He reflects his countrymen
So wait, does this mean Saudi Arabia and Israel are on the same side?
No one likes Iran’s regime. They are real assholes, have been since 1979. Saudi Arabia isn’t much better.
It’s smart that Saudi Arabia wants the USA to fight it’s fight in Iran. They spend a bunch of their GDP on the military and I haven’t heard of them firing a single missile in this war.
edit: I guess we have some fans of the Iranian government. Y’all can go FYS. They are pricks, worse than SA or the USA. At least those two governments didn’t mow down people in the streets last month.
Maybe you should read a little history on what happened in 1979 & why, because if you ask me America is the asshole:

And Saudi Arabia is worse. Weird how the US, Israel & Saudi Arabia has been propping up Al Qaeda.
Really? Iran is the good guy? Didn’t you watch last month?
The US is a fuckhead, but don’t act like Iran has some nice government
You’re correct, but that doesn’t contradict anything they said. The Saudis and Israelis are smartly manipulating the US to support and Cary out their dirty work for them. Doesn’t mean it’s good. And yes, US interference caused the rise of the ayatollah. That doesn’t make the ayatollah good either.
The strategy is labeling the Ayatollah as bad is just distraction. It is merely justification & capitalizes on conditioned Islamophobia. US sanctions has killed tens of millions of people since 1979. This is how the US imperialism works. You create a humanitarian disaster & crisis, and then you say you have to intervene because of the crisis you’ve created. You label the people you kill as terrorists while being the significant proponent of terrorism. And in reality, if someone bombs your people & family you do create & formulate those who seek revenge, and Israel has stated that they see that as a benefit because it is an opportunity for them to take more land. To claim someone is bad, you have to ask are they bad in a vacuum or are they bad because they oppose imperialists. Under that lens, who’s to say Iran is bad. What makes them bad, that they resist? That the people suffer because US forces formulate famine & water shortages? Look at what is happening to the people of Cuba because of the US. That they spend money on defense against imperialists? If anything the actions by the US & Israel has proven the Ayatollah to be correct about the threat by the Zionists & West.
No, sorry, the Iranian regime is bad. If you can’t see that, it invalidates the rest of your post.
