Saudi Crown Prince 'Hungry for War' and Trump Seems Perfectly 'Eager to Comply'

Following a massive “power grab” over the weekend that resulted in the arrest of a prominent billionaire and dozens of influential political figures, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) appears to be steering his country to the brink of an all-out war with Iran and Lebanon—and, judging by his tweets late Monday, President Donald Trump is perfectly fine with it.

“I have great confidence in King Salman and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, they know exactly what they are doing,” Trump wrote, offering an endorsement of the mass arrests—which came just a week after White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner made a secret visit to Saudi Arabia to push for “peace.”

Trump’s tweeted endorsement of MBS’s consolidation of power came as Saudi Arabia ramped up its aggressive rhetoric toward Iran, accusing its regional foe of supplying the missile fired from Yemen at a Riyadh airport on Saturday, which the Saudi leadership characterized as “an act of war against the kingdom.”

Iranian officials have denied any involvement in the missile launch, and Iran’s foreign minister Javad Zarif wrote in a Twitter thread on Monday that Saudi Arabia is “engaged in wars of aggression, regional bullying, destabilizing behavior, and risky provocations.”

“Saudi has Trump exactly where they want him.”
