Riyadh has called on Washington to step up its military campaign.

Saudi Arabia is considering joining US strikes on Iran and is calling on Washington to step up its military campaign.

The Guardian reports The Guardian, citing a Saudi intelligence source.

According to the source, the country's de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has urged US President Donald Trump not to wind down the war against Iran.

Riyadh sees the current military campaign as a "historic opportunity" to change the balance of power in the Middle East.

The Saudi side insists not only on the continuation of the operation, but also on its expansion.

Possible participation in the fighting

Although Saudi Arabia is not yet directly involved in the war, which has lasted almost a month, experts do not rule out its entry into the conflict.

This could happen if peace initiatives fail, particularly those mediated by Pakistan.

The US

US President Donald Trump, according to sources, supports Riyadh's position and calls the crown prince an ally in the confrontation with Iran.
