Impending Iran threat tests US-Saudi relationship after OPEC+ decision
Fox News
President Biden threatened Saudi Arabia with 'consequences' for the OPEC+ cut in oil production, but the two countries are now cooperating in the face of an Iranian threat.
"We are concerned about the threat picture, and we remain in constant contact through military and intelligence channels with the Saudis," a National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News, "We will not hesitate to act in the defense of our interests and partners in the region." Ronn Blitzer is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics and breaking news.
The statement that the U.S. will defend regional allies, and the report that it was Saudi intelligence shared with the U.S. that led to the high alert status, show that both sides are at the very least maintaining a working relationship despite the rhetoric coming out of each country.
