Saudi Crown Prince Urged Trump to Pause Iran Strikes

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly held a phone call with President Trump to express concerns over planned massive military strikes against Iran.

The intervention is credited with contributing to the temporary pause in U.S. military action, as Saudi Arabia seeks to avoid a broader regional conflict that could impact energy markets.

The diplomatic maneuver highlights the delicate balance Saudi Arabia is attempting to maintain between its security partnership with the U.S. and regional stability.
