Behind this dangerous move is likely to be standing the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as he is responsible for removing Mohammed bin Nayef from his position as Crown Prince and has precedents of detaining princes under the anti-corruption cover.2/8

With a careful reading of the atmosphere in the Kingdom of #Saudi Arabia during the past four years, three scenarios can be developed for the reasons for this arrest, as follows:

The first scenario is that King Salman has died. #MBS’s fear for a coup against him, prompted him to arrest the most important and most dangerous princes as a precautionary measure until he took office.4/8

The second scenario is that the King is in a critical state of health and that the princes Ahmed bin Abdulaziz and Mohammad bin Nayef started a move within the royal family to try to impose a new reality against the crown prince prompting him to arrest them.5/8

The third scenario is that the King is fine, and that intelligence information arrived through Abu Dhabi to the Saudi Crown Prince about the intention of these princes to carry out a coup against him, which led to their arrest.6/8

In conclusion, it can be said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is currently experiencing a constant tension due to the undisciplined behaviour of the Crown Prince and his absurd foreign and domestic policy.7/8

The Kingdom of #Saudi Arabia is of great importance to the world economy, as it has the second largest oil reserves in the world, which makes #Washington and the international community in general watch with fear what is going on between Mecca and #Riyadh.8/8
