The horrific war between America, Israel and Iran continues for the third week. Meanwhile, an advice given by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) to US President Donald Trump has come to light, through which, while talking to Trump, he advised him to maintain his tough stance against Iran and continue vigorous attacks on it.
In this report published in the New York Times on Sunday (March 15, 2026), officials have been quoted as saying that this advice of MBS is in line with the long-standing strategic thinking of Saudi Arabia. This is almost literally the same message that the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia used to give to America – ‘Crush the snake’s head.’
Trump is continuously talking to the leaders of Arab countries
US White House officials, on condition of anonymity, said that during the war, Trump is continuously talking to the leaders of many Arab countries, of which Mohammed bin Salman is one of the most prominent leaders. The Saudi Crown Prince, who plays a key role in the Arab country’s foreign and defense policy, is reportedly pressuring Washington to allow Iran to continue regular attacks instead of Trump backing down.
This situation is also considered very important because America is currently standing at a critical juncture. The war that Trump started with Israel against Iran has now reached its third week. So far, more than 2100 people have died in this war, including 13 Americans. Due to the war, oil prices have reached close to $ 100 per barrel, movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz has also been affected and instability in global markets has also increased.
America could not achieve its goals in Iran
Despite this, according to the Trump administration, America has not yet achieved its major objectives. Iran’s nuclear fuel stockpile still exists inside the country and the new leadership in Tehran, reportedly linked to Ali Khamenei’s son, is calling for the fight to continue. At such a time, MBS’s advice to Trump to continue the attacks can have a great impact.
