The resumption of #Saudi-#Iran relations has triggered what I believe to be exaggerated reaction about #China’s emergence as a #MiddleEast powerbroker and a strategic shift of #Riyadh away from its traditional partners. 1/17
Some context: in an October meeting in #Jeddah, a #Saudi leader at the highest level explained his strategy was to defeat #Iran through growth. The fact that KSA is the fastest growing G-20 country, w/trillions invested in everything from tourism to mining, supports this. 2/17
But growth takes time - and growth can be sidetracked through insecurity, whether from #Houthi missiles or the threat of nuclear blackmail. To protect the long-term strategy, he said, KSA needs security. 3/17

To repair the relationship w/ #SaudiArabia, the #US is inventing a "state of war" & an imaginary Iranian "plan of attack" between #Tehran & #Riyadh. It was @JoeBiden who wanted to make Saudi a pariah state & threatened Saudi after the OPEC+ oil reduction.

Although there is little difference between a Republican and Democrats #US administration - both warmongers - in foreign policy, at least Donald Trump was more honest and used to telling us what he was doing without being afraid of revealing his action. @joeiden & Co. are so bad.
#SaudiArabia's decision to cut OPEC+ oil production by 2 m b/d was met with fury in the White House that is taking its time on any public punishment coz the 23 OPEC+ nations took the decision according to their national interests & not the one of the #US. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

2. “Think of it like a rifle range for air and missile defenses,” US Army Brig. Gen. John Cogbill,the command’s deputy director for ops, told Al-Monitor in at #CENTCOM headquarters. “You can put [a system] through its paces, get that feedback, and test its limits.”
3. The facility tentatively dubbed the Red Sands Integrated Experimentation Center will focus specifically on testing and fielding both existing and new counter-drone technologies.

a core problem for resolving conflict or stabilising Yemeni government areas.
2- Formation of Presidential Council reflect current military reality in Yemeni government areas & nomination of Pres. Rashad Al Alimi wasn't based on being common denominator only but also competence.

3- a four southern leadership out of 8 member council dilutes risk of destructive secession while sustains importance of resolving souther political & social grievances.
4- Keeping mandate of the Presidential Council to political, security & military intends to protect economy.

Although I personally understand the Saudi concerns which led to this policy, I see it as a huge mistake and that Saudi Arabia will not be a winner from it. Surprisingly, the biggest winners from this energy crisis are #Russia and #Iran.

Because of the ongoing war on #Ukraine and the economic sanctions on #Russia , the rise in energy prices makes the imports of oil gas very important to cover #Moscow's depletion in other fields.

Moscow has already started exploiting the card of energy externally as well by blackmailing Europe and raising its exports to eastern countries at much lower prices.

With #OPEC Plus clinging to #oil pumping operations at nearly the same level, which leads to a continuous rise in fuel prices globally, in my opinion, the key to this crisis is in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

As it is known, #Riyadh is the second largest oil exporter in the world with about 10 mbd and the second largest reserves. #SaudiArabia also leads the #OPEC, which includes a number of oil exporters, making it an important influence on global oil prices.

#Iran launched six precision missiles Fateh-110 Iranian missiles against a Mossad base in #Erbil #Iraq in retaliation to #Israel killing of 2 Iranian officers in #Syria. No official statements were delivered by either side. These are "messages" both sides understand.
#Iran temporarily suspended the (fifth) meeting with #SaudiArabia in #Iraq programmed for next Wednesday the 16th of March following the mass execution carried out by #Riyadh.

1.Add to that Saudi-Arabia's decision to stand by the 2020 oil pact with #Russia (ie not pump more #Oil into the market)
#Putin seems to have had a clear picture when he made the decision that in the short-term he has #OPEC backing and that the West was still dependent on his gas

2. The pact was achieved after the price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia in early 2020. The Saudis were willing to reach a compromise with Russia after #Trump intervened and threatened to halt military aid to #Riyadh if it doesn't come to terms with Moscow.
3. Presumably Trump was making that effort on behalf of American #LNG exporters that were under threat of going out of business due to the low price environment.
