Saudi Prince Warns Regional War with Iran Could Lead to 'Total Collapse of Global Economy'


THE TELEGRAPH: Awar with Iran would lead to “a total collapse of the global economy”, Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman has said, as he called for a political solution and endorsed talks between Donald Trump and Iranian leaders.

Speaking two weeks after Iran allegedly bombed major Saudi oil facilities, and as new footage of the attack surfaced, the kingdom’s de-facto ruler said that a full-scale conflict in the Persian Gulf would cause oil prices to jump to “unimaginably high numbers that we haven't seen in our lifetimes”.

“The political and peaceful solution is much better than the military one,” Crown Prince Mohammed told CBS News. » | Raf Sanchez, Middle East correspondent | Monday, September 30, 2019
