Saudi Arabia’s crown prince said in an interview aired on Sunday that war with Iran would devastate the global economy and he prefers a non-military solution to tensions with his regional rival.
“If the world does not take a strong and firm action to deter Iran, we will see further escalations that will threaten world interests,” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ─ known as MBS for short ─ told the CBS program “60 Minutes”.
“Oil supplies will be disrupted and oil prices will jump to unimaginably high numbers that we haven’t seen in our lifetimes,” the crown prince said.
MBS said a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran would be catastrophic for the world economy.
