New York Times reported today: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has consistently urged Trump to "continue to strike Iran hard" during this conflict, and the two leaders (Salman and Trump) have maintained close communication during the conflict.
Comments: Privately, the Saudi Crown Prince urged Trump to continue striking Iran, which is a typical geopolitical calculation of "using someone else's knife to kill." He does not send his own troops or take risks, but constantly stirs up the situation, letting the United States take the front line, trying to weaken regional rivals through the United States and consolidate his own dominant position in the Gulf and oil landscape.
