Saudi Crown Prince Blocks US Strike on Iran Despite UAE Pressure on Trump
The United Arab Emirates pressured then-US President Donald Trump to launch a broad military strike against Iranian energy facilities.

Reports indicate that bin Salman personally spoke with Trump, warning that a US strike on Iran's energy infrastructure could provoke retaliatory attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil and gas facilities, as well as those in other Gulf countries.
