Saudi is adding fuel to the fire, the secret of his gossip with Trump is open! Mohammed Bin Salman is haunted by the fear of an incomplete war.

The ongoing war in the Middle East is no longer just a regional conflict, but has become a major geopolitical game affecting the global balance of power. Meanwhile, a shocking report has raised new questions on the role of Saudi Arabia. According to the report, Mohammed bin Salman in a private conversation has appealed to Donald Trump to continue the military campaign against Iran.

However, on the other hand, Saudi Arabia has officially distanced itself from this claim and described itself as a supporter of peace. This contradiction has raised the question what is Saudi’s real strategy. War or diplomacy?

Did Saudi Arabia provoke US to continue the war?

According to the report, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman described the US-Israeli military operation as a ‘historic opportunity’. He believes that this can weaken Iran’s leadership ability and create a new map of the Middle East. He also reportedly said that Iran remains a long-term threat to the Gulf region, so this opportunity should not be missed.

Then why talk about peace publicly?

Rejecting these claims, the Saudi government clearly said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always supported a peaceful resolution of this conflict even before it started. It also added that our primary concern today is to protect ourselves from the daily attacks on our people and our civilian infrastructure.

Instead of serious diplomatic solutions, Iran has chosen the path of dangerous confrontation (brinkmanship). That means, on one hand, backdoor diplomacy, on the other hand, a public message of peace. This is considered to be Saudi’s attempt at strategic balance.

Was the attack on Iran’s oil targets and ground attacks also discussed?

The report also claims that the Saudi leadership discussed options such as attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure and even ground operations. However, such steps could be extremely risky and could plunge the entire region into a major war.

How big has the impact of the war been?

The situation has deteriorated rapidly after the joint US-Israeli attacks that started on February 28. Iran’s retaliatory action has brought the entire Gulf region into the ambit of war. Oil supply, shipping routes and especially important routes like the Strait of Hormuz have been affected, due to which there has been increased instability in the global energy market.

Are Saudis afraid of an incomplete war?

According to analysts, Saudi Arabia fears that if this campaign remains incomplete, Iran will emerge stronger and may attack again and again. But on the other hand, Saudi also understands that if instability increases in Iran, it could lead to chaos in the entire region. Meanwhile, Donald Trump announced to postpone the attack for 5 days and claimed that very good and positive talks have taken place with Iran. However, Iran has already refused any talks, raising questions on Trump’s claims.
