Saudis urge Trump to give Iran diplomacy a chance before any strike

Saudi Arabia has asked US President Donald Trump to allow negotiations with Iran to run before any military option is used, according to regional sources cited by The Jerusalem Post. Riyadh also reportedly asked Tehran not to target key Saudi oil and gas facilities. The account rests on unnamed sources, but it shows a Gulf power trying to prevent a US-Iran confrontation from widening into a regional war that would put global energy supplies at risk.
