Saudi Arabia Secretly Launched Attacks On Iran At Height Of Epic Fury
First it was revealed this week that UAE had directly attacked Iran in retaliatory strikes earlier in Operation Epic Fury, and now it has come to light that the Saudis did the same, and in multiple strike operations.
Reuters reports Tuesday that "Saudi Arabia launched numerous, unpublicized strikes on Iran in retaliation for attacks carried out in the kingdom during the Middle East war, two Western officials briefed on the matter, and two Iranian officials said."

"The Saudi attacks, not previously reported, mark the first time that the kingdom is known to have directly carried out military action on Iranian soil and show it is becoming much bolder in defending itself against its main regional rival," the report continues.
"The attacks, launched by the Saudi Air Force, were assessed to have been carried out in late March, the two Western officials said," Reuters notes fu...

Saudi Arabia's $1Tn Wealth Fund Opens Shanghai Office As China Ties Deepen
Via The Cradle
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) opened a second office in mainland China earlier this year, establishing a Shanghai branch to expand dealmaking and attract more Chinese investment into the kingdom, Bloomberg reports.
The office was registered last year, falls under PIF's Beijing branch, and is led by Lily Cong, a former chief representative of Fidelity International in China's capital.

The Shanghai outpost was reportedly created to strengthen the $1 trillion fund's ability to pursue outbound deals in China, while officials are also seeking to bring more Chinese companies into Saudi Arabia.
This move strengthens Riyadh's investment relationship with Beijing, while the US continues to be a major market for the kingdom. The Shanghai office expands PIF's global presence, which already features offices in New York, London, Hong Kong, and Paris.

Saudi Arabia Vs UAE
By Benjamin Picton, Senior Market Strategist at Rabobank
The Little Red Hen
Markets are bulled-up this morning on prospects for peace in the Iran war. The S&P500 and NASDAQ closed at fresh all-time highs and Brent crude prices closed 7.8% lower at $101.27/bbl. While some analysts are understandably wary of another Axios report touting progress in Middle East relations (and therefore lower oil prices!), markets are clearly not in a mood to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ismail Baghieri told news sources that Iran is reviewing a 14-point American memo that outlines terms for peace. Axios reports that those terms include Iran giving up the nuclear fuel that it has enriched to near-weapons-grade (though, there is no detail on who they would give it up to), an Iranian commitment to never seek a nuclear weapon, moratoriums on Iranian nuclear enrichment, Iranian agreement to enhanced UN-led nuclear inspections, and a framework to gradually resto...
