Saudi Arabia recently conducted large-scale military drills with some 20 allies from Arab and Sunni countries. While the soldiers were learning how to better coordinate their actions, with a strong focus on anti-terrorist operations, Saudi diplomats were busy strengthening ties with their allied counterparts.
Indeed, the Saudi monarchy seems
keen to display its rank as one of the region's geopolitical
heavyweights. But beyond the wars in Syria, Yemen and Iraq and the fight
against terrorist groups, one country appears to be in the crosshairs
of these military and diplomatic manoeuvres: Iran.
