Saudi Arabia seeks de-escalation with Iran after joint strikes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Saudi Arabia's Defense Minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman, met with Vice President JD Vance to convey a message of de-escalation with Iran, despite recent joint U.S.-Saudi strikes against pro-Iranian militias in Iraq. The strikes were a response to over 30 drone attacks on Saudi targets. Prince Khalid emphasized that while Saudi Arabia will defend itself, its primary goal is to avoid further escalation with Iran, contrasting this stance with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's perceived push for escalation.
