Is Saudi Arabia Heading For War With Iran?<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Is a major war in the Middle East looming on the horizon?\u00a0 Most of us living in the western world simply do not realize how much Saudi Arabia and Iran truly hate one another.\u00a0 Saudi Arabia is the global center for Sunni Islam, and Iran is the global center for Shia Islam, and the two major sects of Islam have a history of bad blood that literally goes back for over a thousand years.\u00a0 The Saudis and the Iranians are already engaged in \u201cproxy wars\u201d in Syria and in Yemen, and now a missile that was fired at Riyadh\u2019s international airport threatens to turn the conflict between the two regional powers into a hot war.<\/p>\n

If you are tempted to think that I am exaggerating one bit, just consider what the New York Times<\/a> is saying about this\u2026<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia charged Monday that Iran had committed \u201ca blatant act of military aggression\u201d by providing its Yemeni allies with a missile fired at the Saudi capital<\/a> over the weekend, raising the threat of a direct military clash between the two regional heavyweights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The accusations represent a new peak in tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran at a time when they are already fighting proxy wars in Yemen and Syria, as well as battles for political power in Iraq and Lebanon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And Yahoo<\/a> is reporting that the Saudis are saying that this missile attack \u201cmay amount to an act of war\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

On Monday, a Saudi-led military coalition battling Tehran-backed rebels in Yemen said it reserved the \u201cright to respond\u201d to the missile attack on Riyadh at the weekend, calling it a \u201cblatant military aggression by the Iranian regime which may amount to an act of war\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir also warned Tehran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
