Saudi crown prince urged Trump to continue military action against Iran, NYT reports

Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has urged U.S. President Donald Trump to continue military operations against Iran, the New York Times (NYT) reported. According to the report, the crown prince described the U.S.-Israeli military action as a historic opportunity to reshape the order in the Middle East, arguing that overthrowing Iran's hardline regime is necessary to eliminate long-term threats in the Gulf region. The NYT noted that this contrasts with Saudi Arabia's official stance, which supports a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Iran and prioritizes defense over offensive action.
