For decades, Iran and Saudi Arabia have fought a bitter cold war across the Middle East — through proxies, through oil, and through ideology. But under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Riyadh has taken a far more calculated approach. One that turns American military power and regional alliances into instruments of Saudi strategic interest.

What appears on the surface as a traditional US-Saudi partnership is, on closer examination, something far more sophisticated. MBS has quietly positioned Washington's military presence, sanctions regime, and regional commitments as a containment wall around Tehran — all while Saudi Arabia expands its own influence, investments, and alliances without bearing the full cost of confrontation.

From Yemen to Lebanon, from the Abraham Accords to the maximum pressure campaign against Iran, the fingerprints of Saudi strategic calculation are visible at every turn. Riyadh did not just benefit from American policy — it helped shape it.

In this video, we examine how MBS constructed this geopolitical trap, why Iran finds itself increasingly isolated despite its regional networks, and what this strategy reveals about the future of Middle Eastern power politics.

IN 2006, I STARTED TO "WRITE" A BOOK CALLED "THE AGE OF DECEIT"... MOST OF THE POSTS ON THIS SITE ARE PART OF THIS WORK... WITH THE ADVENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, DECEIT HAS TAKEN A NEW DIMENSION. AND THE BOOK WILL NEVER BE FINISHED...

MOST PORTRAITS OF KINGS AND QUEENS HAVE BEEN PART OF DECEIT IN PAST CENTURIES TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ACCEPT THE GRANDEUR OF THE "OCCUPATION" WHICH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT WAS GAINED THROUGH BLOODY GAMES OF WARS AND NON-TRUSTWORTHY ALLIANCES — HELPED BY THE DIVINE... AND DYNASTICALLY ENFORCED...

TALKING OF THE DIVINE, PETE HEGSETH IS FARTING ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE AS A CRUSADER FOR JESUS CHRIST....[SEE HIS CRUSADER'S CROSS TATOO]

IF THIS DOES NOT SCARE YOU, YOU ARE AN EVANGELICAL NUT OR BORN WITH NERVES OF STEEL...

 

SO...

EVEN DURING WORLD WAR ONE, PHOTOGRAPHERS ADDED SMOKE OR SOLDIERS TO GIVE A MORE PANORAMIC EFFECT TO THE EVENTS.

ENTER THE VIETNAM WAR AND REPORTERS POSSIBLY GAVE A MOST TRUTHFUL VIEW OF THIS CONFLICT — A VIEW WHICH MADE THE WAR UNPOPULAR AND "UNWINNABLE" FOR THE MILITARY MINDS....

THIS IS WHY IN SUBSEQUENT WARS, THE US EMBEDDED THE JOURNOS... AND THIS IS WHY ISRAEL HAS KILLED 130 JOURNALISTS TRYING TO REPORT FROM GAZA AND THIS IS WHY, ISRAEL HAS A VERY STRICT CENSORSHIP ON REPORTING WHAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE BY IRANIAN MISSILES....

CARRYING ON WITH THE PRESENT WAR ON IRAN — FOLLOWING MANY YEARS OF DECEIT ABOUT VARIOUS GULF WAR AND ON BELGRADE, AND ON LIBYA, SYRIA, ANYWHERE YOU WISH TO NAME — WE ARE STILL DECEIVED BY THE LEADERS, FROM HEGSETH, TRUMP, RUBIO, WHO SAY ONE THING ONE DAY AND SAY THE OPPOSITE THE NEXT... AND CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER AT THE SAME TIME...

THIS IS BLATANT AND NOT EVEN PROTECTED BY CAVEATS... AND OUR MEDIA AT LARGE SWALLOW THE BULLSHIT, DIGEST IT FOR US TO CONSUME...

WITH AI, MANY VIDEO HAVE APPEARED ON THE NET [SAY YOUTUBE, ETC] AND SOME DO CONFLICT WITH THE ILLUSTRATED INFORMATION COMING FROM MAINSTREAM MEDIA...

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, SEE THE INFORMATION SHARED BY RICHARD MEDHURST AND COMPARE WITH MEDIA WATCH [ABC/TV, AUSTRALIA]... IN MW, A PARTICULAR PICTURE OF AN AMERICAN RADAR SITE HAVING BEEN DESTROYED IS DESCRIBED AS FALSE, WHILE RICHARD MEDHURST SHOWS IT WITH SOME METICULOUS OVERLAY... AT THIS POINT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO PASS JUDGEMENT... MY OWN ASSESSMENT DUE TO EXPERIENCE IN DECEIT, WOULD BE TO THINK THAT MEDIA WATCH IS 80 PER CENT WRONG — BUT NOT DELIBERATELY SO.

HOW THE ABC MEDIA WATCH FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS FAKE? OR IS IT REAL BUT THE US MILITARY DOES NOT WANT THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT IT HAS LOST A RADAR WORTH $500 MILLION... IS THIS THE ONLY RADAR THAT WAS "NOT DESTROYED" — AS WE ARE TOLD FOUR OTHERS PLUS THIS ONE WERE?

MY PERSONAL TAKE HERE IS SHOULD THE IRANIAN MILITARY BE LYING ON SUCH AN ISSUE, IT WOULD SOON COLLAPSE. IT HAS NOT — AND ACCORDING TO SERIOUS EXPERT, IRAN HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF SURVIVING THIS STUPID TRUMP WAR. 

ANYWAY, "EARTH" PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE FROM VARIOUS SOURCES AND THE IRANIANS HAVE ACCESS TO EARTH PICTURES IN REAL TIME... GOOGLE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUCH... SO DID SOMEONE AT THE ABC MEDIA WATCH, SURVEYED GOOGLE MAPS TO FIND THE RADAR BEING STILL INTACT, ON A GOOGLE PICTURE THAT WAS TAKEN SIX MONTH AGO? THIS WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME....
