US EditionSaudi Royal Source Calls for Ousting Khamenei and Regime Change in Iran
A Saudi royal source supports ousting Iran's Supreme Leader amid regional debate; 70% of Americans oppose military intervention, experts warn of risks from regime collapse.
- Saudi and Emirati officials have said the U.S. cannot use their airspace, and the Crown Prince publicly ruled out attacks on Iran, signaling Gulf restraint.
- Iran's diminished regional power and the aftermath of January protests, when security forces regained control and nine hundred reportedly died, suggest limited regime change prospects, analysts say.
- The United States has gathered its most air power in the Middle East since 2003, with at least 108 air tankers in or heading to the CENTCOM theater, and U.S. military officers warn strikes could happen at any moment.
- Past threats of Strait of Hormuz closures could displace thousands toward the UAE and spike global oil prices, risking economic instability, as Iran warns all options are on the table.
- Analysts warn a U.S. campaign could paradoxically push Iran toward weaponization despite aims to prevent it, while Tehran may seek to inflict U.S. casualties and Iranian proxies add unpredictability; a devastated Iran could prompt GCC countries to pursue their own deterrents, risking a regional arms race.
