Saudi Prince urges Trump to meet with Iranian President

54
The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia said in an interview with CBS that oil prices could rise sharply to “unimaginable heights” if the world did not come together to restrain Iran. At the same time, he said that he would prefer a political solution to the military.





In an interview with the CBS 60 Minutes program, Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the de facto ruler of the kingdom, once again sharply opposed Iran. Ben Salman noted that oil supplies could be thwarted in the course of further confrontation with Tehran, and prices for black gold will jump to "unimaginable heights that we have never seen."

If the world does not take tough and decisive actions to deter Iran, we will see further escalation, which will threaten world interests.

- emphasized the crown prince.

In an interview, the prince agreed with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who stated that the September 14 attacks, which caused serious damage to the world's largest refinery and cut oil supplies to world markets, were an act of war on the part of Iran.

The United States, European powers and Saudi Arabia are accused of attacks on Tehran. Iran, at the same time, denies any involvement in these actions, and the pro-Iranian Shiite movement of the Yemeni Hussites took responsibility for them.

Saudi Arabia Declares Commitment to Peace


At the same time, Mohammed bin Salman said he prefers a peaceful solution, since the war between Saudi Arabia and Iran will destroy the world economy. The Crown Prince also reiterated the Saudi call for Iran to cease support for the Hussite forces in Yemen and stated that it was open to "any initiative within the framework of a political solution to the issue" to put an end to hostilities in the region.

A political and peaceful solution is much better than a military one.

- he said.

The Crown Prince also said that US President Donald Trump should meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to work out a new deal on Tehran’s nuclear program. According to bin Salman, this meeting is "needed by the whole world."

Among other things, the most likely future Saudi monarch, in a conversation with reporters, denied that the order came to him to kill the journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudi secret services almost a year ago. However, in turn, Mohammed bin Salman said that in the end it was he who was “fully responsible” for what happened as the leader of his country.

        No one will allow the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran to make peace, because:
        1. There is an indirect war on several military operations, and this is a lot of money.
        2. Pitting neighbors, you can easily control this region.
        3. There is not just a lot of oil, its sea is there.

        This is not beneficial to anyone except the peoples of these countries, but who will ask them will be. These are variations of oriental despotism.

          Novel, yes, there they have been forcing each other to the world for so many years, and the forcing is breaking. If there really is a hunt for peace, let Russia invite the mediator and conduct direct negotiations with the Hussites and Iran (preferably separately). Before the Hussites apologize for the aggression, to conclude a world agreement with Iran and remove mutual claims. Do not let Americans into the negotiation process - they will spoil everything.
          Will it turn out like this?
          I doubt it.
          Striped will certainly crap and put pressure on the Saudis.
          But if you really want peace, you need to step on your ego ... As guarantors of the process, you can invite China (as the largest consumer of Gulf oil) and Turkey - as an influential regional player and a party not involved in the conflict.
          Otherwise, the Saudi kingdom will disappear from the map and there will be several Shiite and Sunite dwarfs smoking under the debris.
          Alas, for the Saudis the choice is just that.

                Mistake: Palestine was NEVER a state, and does not want to be a state now. Just because they have to WORK, and the Palestinians have never done this (work) and, which is characteristic, do not want to continue to do it. They live well on handouts that are now coming from all over the world. And when there will be its own state, the value of these handouts will decrease by several times. That's all. hi

                  But they will hardly want to act as mediators in the Saudi-Yemeni conflict. There you need someone more authoritative. China and Turkey will fit perfectly.

        Ashpen that is peaceful. They are not capable of fighting at all, unless they secretly cut off their head. Moreover, they are also not capable of a "peaceful solution", therefore they ask Big Uncle Trump to sort out their problem for them. But due to their feeble mind, they do not understand that a big uncle cannot do this either.

          Big uncle needs just the Gulf War to raise oil prices (America is now the largest producer), lower competitors (China and Europe) and weaken local regimes through this war. Well, trade in weapons - war will raise demand.

          The way out for Salman (good and right) is to fall at the feet of Putin and ask him to reconcile with Iran and Yemen, to help get out of the war without the collapse of the state. Otherwise, the kingdom of CA as a state will disappear. It will not withstand or survive a war in any form. And the United States will not help her, but rather they will speed up the process with a considerable hashift for her beloved ones (the Fed’s debts to the KSA and their investments will be canceled and seized) is a classic in historical retrospective.

              For the Saudis, this is no longer a matter of religion, but a matter of their own survival. Now they have practically no money to buy allies - oil exports have fallen by more than 2 times and huge funds are needed to restore the destroyed and ensure its security in the future. In Yemen, they have new high-profile defeats and the war may soon spread to the territory of the kingdom itself. The oil-bearing regions in it are inhabited by Shiites and there may be a "head-on fire."
              And hardly anyone will wish to harness for the Saudis after the bankruptcy thereof and dismemberment at the Saudi embassy in Turkey. bully The Sauds now have to think only about SURVIVAL and nothing more. Yes they have already lost their moral character in the Islamic world.

            The Saudi army is just a bottom. As well as their bet on tribal militias, which for the denyushka will protect the country. As a result, when the militia got hot, they just surrendered en masse. The Saudis and Sudanese tried to break through but were ambushed on the highway (in the video these Lavki maneuver group with those who tried to break out) also surrendered (well, who were not lucky). Moreover, they most likely had a superiority in numbers, a complete superiority in armaments and equipped positions at key heights, with mortars and air support.
