Saudi Arabia strongly condemned Iran's "brutal" attack on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh tonight (Beijing time, March 3), calling it a "cowardly act." Saudi reiterated that it has the full right to take all measures, including retaliation, to protect its security, citizens and major interests.
[Witty] Comment: Compared to Iran, Saudi's attitude towards the U.S. and Israel seems more like a "cowardly act." Faced with the joint U.S.-Israel strike against Iran, Saudi dares not utter a single hard word against the real forces inciting war, but instead immediately came out strongly condemning Iran's retaliation, even turning the accusation back by calling it "brutal" and "cowardly behavior." Saudi hosts a large number of U.S. troops within its territory, becoming a military base for the U.S. in the Middle East. Now that the U.S. embassy was attacked, Saudi only dares to make tough statements about the right to retaliate, but never dares to speak out against the hegemonic actions of the U.S. and Israel. This one-sided alignment, lack of fairness, and only venting anger at the rebels, appears strong but actually exposes the true nature of relying on others. In the Middle East framework, it will only become more passive.
