Saudi Arabia urged US to 'hit Iran hard' - NYT

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging US President Donald Trump to "keep hitting Iran hard," The New York Times reported on Sunday citing unnamed White House officials.

According to the report, Trump speaks to Arab leaders regularly.

The advise from the Crown Prince echoes that of the late Saudi King Abdullah, the authors noted, who had pressed Washington to “cut off the head of the snake.”
