Speaking on Russia Today on March 26, Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal said that Iran—and not U.S. President Donald Trump—was “causing trouble in the region,” and that it was Russia’s responsibility to “highlight the atrocious acts that the Iranian government perpetrates against its own people.”

Prince Al-Faisal, the former Chief of Saudi Intelligence and Ambassador to the United Kingdom, pointed to Iranian intervention in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere.

He added that documents found in the compound of Osama bin Laden showed that he had been in touch with Iran.

The latest attacks “show us what a cruel regime it is and what kind of danger it is,” the Israeli president said.
Hundreds of phone calls are being made by Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, along with targeted assassinations of top regime leaders.
Police say the cell conducted live-fire exercises as part of training for attacks.
“It requires one clear choice: full decommissioning by Hamas and every armed group, with no exceptions and no carve-outs,” said Nickolay Mladenov stated.
“All the casualties from Iranian attacks, without an exception, are civilians,” Israel’s foreign minister adds.
At the site of a missile impact in southern Israel, the premier accused Tehran of targeting civilians and holy sites, and urged global action to stop Iranian aggression.
