A top Saudi diplomat said that the West's policies on Iran and Syria are a "dangerous gamble" and Saudi Arabia is prepared to act on its own to safeguard security in the region,
"We believe that many of the West’s policies on both Iran and Syria risk the stability and security of the Middle East," the Saudi ambassador to Britain, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz, wrote in a commentary in the New York Times.
The bluntly-worded warning was the latest in a series of public statements by senior Saudi figures showing their displeasure with Western diplomacy towards Syria and Iran.
The Saudi kingdom has been dismayed by Washington's decisions to pull out of Syria militarily and to establish a nuclear deal with Iran. Saudi leaders have rarely voiced public criticism of their Western allies until recently.
I think Saudi Arabia has good reason to be upset with the recent US behavior in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia may not be an ally that the U.S. wants to lose.
