À propos de cet audio

The diplomatic mask is slipping. While official statements from Riyadh emphasize sovereignty and peace, leaked reports of private briefings in Washington suggest a massive shift in the Kingdom's calculus.
In this deep-dive:
The "KBS" Briefings: We break down the Axios report on Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman (KBS). In private meetings with the Trump administration this week, KBS reportedly warned that "inaction" would only strengthen the Iranian regime. Is this the definitive "green signal" for military strikes?
The MBS Paradox: We analyze the contrast between public and private diplomacy. On Tuesday, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told the Iranian President he wouldn't allow Saudi land to be used for strikes. Why is Riyadh playing both sides of the fence?
The "Regime Change" Fever: We look at reports that President Trump is specifically weighing "targeted strikes" on security forces to empower protesters. Is the U.S. planning to "be the air force" for a second Iranian revolution?
The Oil Chokepoint: With Brent Crude already hitting $70.71, we look at the threat of an Iranian "Total Blockade" of the Strait of Hormuz. If the U.S. strikes, will Tehran take the global economy down with it?
The "Abraham Lincoln" Positioning: As the carrier strike group reaches the North Arabian Sea, we examine its "Aegis" capabilities. Is the fleet there to attack, or to protect Saudi oil fields from the inevitable Iranian drone retaliation?
