On why #US is the linchpin of the conflicts between #SaudiArabiaIran and the solution to it, by replenishing the organic self-balancing features of their ties after repeated interventions in the #PersianGulf, listen to my latest program @cwclub.bsky.social www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2026-...

In my forthcoming podcast @cwclub, I told a large audience in person why #SaudiArabiaIran try not to go to war, even when they are at #war!! Here they are, cutting cake in Tehran, marking Saudi Arabia's National Independence Day. www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2026-...

Please join me next Tuesday September 22 @cwclub where I speak about the latest tensions between #SaudiArabiaIran. Tickets available online:

In 2019 in #Oslo, I privately told members of Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs that #SaudiArabiaIran will get weaker. I was challenged by being asked what of Vision2030. I explained despite it their imbalanced ties widen rifts. Below is a link to my public talk.
