@not_a_newtthe quick regime-change conflict in Iran has spread regionally and is choking US allies like Saudi Arabia, which is now facing a collapsing business model and losses on multiple fronts. China previously brokered a peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia that created regional calm, letting the Saudis balance relations between BRICS states and the US while making money. But when Trump initiated a conflict with Iran, drawing Saudi Arabia into the war due to US military operations on its soil, everything fell apart. Iranian strikes occurred on Saudi territory following the escalation, destroying any agreement. Following a period of relative calm with the US, Iran allegedly armed allied groups across the region. Now Saudi oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz are claimed to be blocked. A Saudi east-west pipeline for Red Sea exports is reported as non-operational due to attacks by Iranian-backed rebels in Iraq. Iranian-backed Houthis are said to be pressuring Saudi proxies in Yemen. The text asserts Saudi Arabia requires assistance from Donald Trump. Trump is characterized as having limited options beyond ineffective bombing campaigns against Houthis and Iran. Ground troop deployment is suggested as unlikely. The author posits that previous agreements were destroyed by the escalation of hostilities, leaving the current situation where the Saudis cannot balance relations between BRICS states and the US.
