Saudi Arabia Can't Take It Anymore! Saudi Arabia Warns Iran Face to Face! On March 8, according to foreign media reports, during a call between Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, and the Foreign Minister of Iran, Saudi Arabia warned Iran face to face that it urged Iran not to attack its territory or energy infrastructure, and stated that if such attacks continue, Saudi Arabia is prepared for retaliatory strikes.
Evidently, this warning from Saudi Arabia marks an important shift, meaning that Saudi Arabia has clearly drawn a red line regarding Iran's strikes. If Iran does not consider Saudi Arabia's interests, Saudi Arabia will retaliate against Iran. Of course, for Saudi Arabia and Iran, both sides can be said to have drawn clear red lines. Iran's red line is that as long as these countries' territories do not provide convenience for the United States to strike Iran, Iran will not attack.
Therefore, Saudi and Iranian sides have entered a high-risk confrontation state of "red line against red line, deterrence against deterrence." Saudi's warning is certainly not just empty threats. In fact, before this, Crown Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia held talks with General Munir, the highest-ranking military official of Pakistan, to coordinate urgently on Iran's strike actions. There is no doubt that Saudi's warning means that the situation may escalate significantly, because if the two countries handle it improperly, Saudi will definitely take the field to retaliate against Iran.
