Saudi Crown Prince Urges Trump to Continue Military Pressure on Iran
Mohammed bin Salman backs sustained strikes as Gulf tensions escalate following Iranian attacks across the region
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has urged United States President Donald Trump to continue military strikes against Iran as hostilities intensify across the Middle East.
The appeal came as Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks across several Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, following earlier U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets.
Saudi officials condemned the attacks as a clear act of aggression and warned that regional security was under direct threat.
According to statements issued through official channels, the Saudi leadership called on Washington to maintain firm pressure on Tehran.
The Crown Prince reportedly encouraged President Trump to continue hitting Iranian targets in response to what Saudi authorities described as escalating Iranian aggression against Gulf nations.
Iran’s retaliatory strikes have targeted multiple locations in Saudi Arabia, including energy infrastructure and strategic facilities, as the broader conflict has expanded beyond its original flashpoints.
Saudi air defenses reported intercepting numerous drones and missiles, though several sites have sustained damage.
The conflict intensified after the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iranian military and strategic facilities, an operation framed by Washington as a decisive move to counter Iran’s expanding missile capabilities and destabilizing activities across the region.
Saudi Arabia has positioned itself firmly against the Iranian attacks, describing them as violations of national sovereignty and regional stability.
Riyadh has said it reserves the right to respond to further aggression and is coordinating closely with international partners to strengthen defenses and protect critical infrastructure.
President Trump has emphasized the need to confront Iranian threats decisively, presenting the strikes as part of a broader effort to safeguard allies, protect global energy routes and prevent further escalation from Tehran.
The Crown Prince’s support underscores the strategic alignment between Riyadh and Washington as both governments respond to the rapidly escalating confrontation.
Saudi authorities have reiterated that protecting Gulf security and maintaining the stability of global energy supplies remain central priorities as the crisis unfolds.
