'If Saudi is committed to weakening Iran, it must put aside its differences with Qatar to focus on the more significant threat it faces.' Opinion | thewarjournal
. Iranian proxies almost entirely strategically encircle Saudi Arabia, so it is no wonder it feels under threat.However, that does not mean that Saudi Arabia should have carte blanche right to do as it pleases to mitigate the threat it faces from Iran. It is arguable that Riyadh’s actions have enhanced the Iranian threat and not dissipated it.
I recall watching countless debate programmes on AJA that pitted pro-Iran figures against anti-Iran intellectuals, journalists, and politicians whoand challenged the notion that Iran was a purveyor of peace and stability in the region. Essentially, and through sheer stupidity, the Saudis and their allies inadvertently silenced the most influential voice highlighting Iran’s misdeeds in the region purely because their anger blinded them that Qatar dared to support the Arab Spring.
