Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman asks Trump to reconsider large strikes on Iran – report
The report comes as two Israeli sources told The Jerusalem Post that Israel has raised its alert and readiness for a potential resumption of large US strikes on Iran.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly urged US President Donald Trump to reconsider large military strikes on Iran during a Saturday phone call, according to Axios. Citing US officials, the report indicates that Saudi Arabia expressed concern about potential regional escalation and sought de-escalation instead of major strikes. One official stated, "the Saudis expressed concern and asked for clarity about the plan of action." Other regional countries, including Qatar, the UAE, Turkey, and Pakistan, have also reportedly asked Trump to avoid escalating the situation. This comes as Israel has raised its alert for potential renewed US strikes, while indirect US-Iran talks on Saturday reportedly made some progress without reaching an agreement.
