MIDDLE EAST POWER PLAYER REPORTEDLY TOLD IRAN TO TAKE TRUMP’S NUCLEAR DEAL
Saudi Arabia reportedly gave a stark warning to Iran to take President Donald Trump’s nuclear deal or face the consequences with a war in Israel, Reuters reported Friday.
Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman in April spoke with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in order to defuse tensions between Israel and Iran, fearing Trump was nearing the end of his patience with the Islamic Republic, two Iranian officials and two Gulf sources told Reuters. Israel has pledged to strike Iranian nuclear facilities if a deal is not reached to curtail the nation’s nuclear ambitions, while Trump has been ambivalent on whether or not the U.S. would join Israel in the strikes.
“President Trump has made it clear: make a deal, or face grave consequences, and the whole world is clearly taking him seriously, as they should,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Reuters.
