to what is happening in the Middle East, because the situation is becoming quite serious.\u00a0 If things go badly, we could be facing a major regional war which would involve not only Saudi Arabia and Iran, but also potentially the United States and Israel.\u00a0 <a title=\"Yesterday\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/is-saudi-arabia-heading-for-war-with-iran\">Yesterday<\/a>, I quoted an article <a title=\"in the New York Times\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/11\/06\/world\/middleeast\/yemen-saudi-iran-missile.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the New York Times<\/a> that warned that tensions between the Saudis and the Iranians were raising \u201cthe threat of a direct military clash between the two regional heavyweights\u201d.\u00a0 And now Jake Novak of CNBC <a title=\"is saying\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/11\/07\/trump-may-have-pushed-saudi-arabia-and-iran-closer-to-war-commentary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is saying<\/a> that a \u201cdirect conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran, as opposed to the proxy war they\u2019re fighting in Yemen, <strong>looks inevitable<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I put those last two words in bold so that there wouldn\u2019t be any confusion.\u00a0 In fact, Novak <a title=\"is warning\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/11\/07\/trump-may-have-pushed-saudi-arabia-and-iran-closer-to-war-commentary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is warning<\/a> that the Saudis \u201care marching ever closer towards a wider regional war\u201d.\u00a0 Novak understands the dynamics of the Middle East, and he realizes where things could be headed if cooler heads do not prevail.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Arabia and Iran have already been fighting proxy wars against one another in Syria and Iran for quite a while, but a direct military conflict between the two could literally be a nightmare scenario.<\/p>\n<p>One of the primary characters in this ongoing drama is Saudi Arabia\u2019s extremely hawkish crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.\u00a0 He hates Iran with a passion, and he has already said that he believes that a peace dialogue with Iran is impossible.<\/p>\n<p>And over the past several days, events in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon have moved talk of war <a title=\"to the front burner\"
