🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia’s royal family may not survive this war as the kingdom’s founding deal with its clerics starts to crack.
Lawrence Wilkerson says the kingdom is running short on money and losing allies, while the centuries old pact between the House of Saud and the Wahhabi religious establishment comes apart in real time:
“I think they’re finished. I think the Royals are finished.”
If the royals and the clerics split for good, who’s left to hold Saudi Arabia together?

Lawrence Wilkerson says the cracks are already showing, and the region has been waiting for this moment since 1948:
“Once that dam breaks, no amount of American money will buy off kings, queens and whatever, and they will not stop until it’s eradicated, completely eradicated.”
Washington has spent decades paying for calm in the Middle East, so what happens when the checks stop working?

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says its air defenses are now stronger than before the war started
The army spokesman told the semi-official ISNA that a “significant portion” of the radars and launchers destroyed in the war have been repaired, “new equipment” has been added, and the IRGC has run joint drills with it.
He also claimed US warships have already backed off more than 300 miles from Iran’s coast and “will be forced to flee even further in the coming days.”
The read from Tehran’s negotiating team is just as flat.
An aide to the parliament speaker leading the talks posted that “all sources we consult to gauge the enemy’s intent agree that a threat is imminent,” and that if Trump wants to declare victory “he will likely have to target Iran’s nuclear program.”
Enter the MOAB strike package rumors.
