Ultimatum; Will a powerful prince attack Iran?

&ldquo;Certainly, as we have already made very clear, we reserve the right to military action if it becomes necessary. If that time comes, the Kingdom&rsquo;s leadership will make such a decision,&rdquo; he said after a meeting of a group of 12 Arab and Islamic countries held yesterday in Riyadh.He added that Iran does not believe in dialogue with its neighbors but instead seeks to exert pressure on them, which he said will not succeed and will provoke a negative political and moral reaction.&ldquo;An attack on Riyadh while multiple diplomats are meeting cannot be considered a coincidence... My diplomatic career is not that long, but I have never witnessed such an obvious attempt at coercion as launching missiles during a diplomatic meeting,&rdquo; Al-Saud said at a press conference, a few hours after eight ballistic missiles were intercepted over Riyadh.He added that Saudi Arabia, a country effectively led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will not refrain from defending its territory and resources.&ldquo;What matters to me right now is that the attacks on my country and on my neighbors&mdash;who are not involved in the conflict&mdash;stop. That is all I care about. And we will use every lever at our disposal&mdash;political, economic, diplomatic, and otherwise&mdash;to stop these attacks,&rdquo; the Saudi minister said.Al Saud did not answer journalists&rsquo; questions about any deadline given to Iran to halt the attacks: &ldquo;Do they have a day, two days, a week? I will not disclose that.&rdquo;He noted that &ldquo;even the little trust&rdquo; between Saudi Arabia and Iran&mdash;who restored diplomatic relations three years ago&mdash;has been &ldquo;completely destroyed.&rdquo;According to the minister, the reason is that Tehran knew most of the 12 countries at the Riyadh meeting were trying to secure a diplomatic solution to the dispute with the United States and would not take part in any potential conflict.Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said that Iran had заранее planned hostile actions against its neighbors, both directly and through proxy forces across the Middle East.Iran on Thursday targeted energy infrastructure across the region and launched more than ten waves of missile attacks on Israel, which had bombed Iran&rsquo;s offshore South Pars gas field a day earlier.In response to the attack on the gas field, Iran fired missiles at Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
