Saudi Arabia’s concerns over potential US-Iran conflict
Recent military actions by the US and Israel against Iran are creating new obstacles for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 economic initiative. Saudi officials are concerned that a significant escalation against Iran could trigger severe repercussions across the Gulf. According to Middle East analyst Dana Stroul, a renewed large-scale conflict involving the Houthis would pose a direct threat to the success of Vision 2030.
