Saudi Arabia's alignment amid shifting sands – Jerusalem Studio 720

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has of late been consolidating his domestic power, in anticipation of succeeding to the throne when his elderly father, King Salman, dies, abdicates or is incapacitated. MBS, as he is universally known, added the position of Prime Minister to his title, and proceeded to deal a blow to President Biden by allying the Oil Producing and Exporting Countries, which Saudi Arabia leads, with Russia in cutting petroleum production. The move is designed to raise the price of oil and politically hurt President Biden, against whom both MBS and Vladimir Putin bear grudges. So, is it all personal or strategic, and could the Saudis possibly form an axis with their sworn enemies- the Iranians, who are allied with the Russians in the Ukraine war, in Syria and beyond?
