Saudi Arabia does not want a war with Iran but will respond "with strength and determination" if Iran decides to start one, a top Saudi official has said.
"We don't want a war in any way, but at the same time we won't allow Iran to continue its hostile policies toward the kingdom," Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir told reporters in Riyadh early Sunday morning. "We want peace and stability."Al-Jubeir began the press conference - called suddenly after midnight - by listing a series of terror attacks in which he said Iran had played a role over the past few decades.
The Saudi pipeline has since reopened, but officials from all sides have warned that a string of recent events has left the region at risk of sliding into a potentially devastating international conflict. The United Arab Emirates and other countries are still investigating attacks on several ships, including two Saudi vessels, in the United Arab Emirates last week, Al-Jubeir added.
Saudi trying to be America?
Take a look at the YouTube film 'The Power Principle'. Some of the people know the history and present day motivation for destroying sovereign currency and installing puppet Governments.
Sad if this happen. Saudi have the right to defend their soil & properties but are you sure it was Iraq who did this? Or maybe the one that sell weapon to you create fear so that can buy more latest weapon. Respond with extra caution for the sake of ISLAM
Fine, let them do it themselves. Why should the rest of us be their mercenaries?
Yeah sure. You've been pinned down for years against sandals-and-kalash Yemenis. What do you think you will achieve against Iran?
How unfortunate they didn’t respond with strength and determination over Khashoggi.
So the Yanks are going to fight a Proxy war with Iran using KSA. They then get to sell them more weapons.
And the drums are beating!
