Saudi Arabia Has Five Points Of Leverage Over The US
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
It probably won't ever muster up the political will to use them, however, but the possibility always remains.
Trump recently surprised the Saudis by demanding that they recognize Israel as the precondition for the US implementing their newly signed nuclear energy deal, which wasn't part of the agreement. This follows him humiliating Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Salman earlier in the spring by claiming that he'd been “kissing my ass” for rejuvenating the US economy. His mistreatment of the Kingdom and its de facto leader is unexpected since the US relies on them in the following five ways:

The Trump administration and Department of War may pursue de-escalation from here after Trump wrote on Truth Social late Saturday night: "We have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to."

Saudi Arabia Planning Major Escalation In Yemen, Possible Ground Op: Reports
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah, commonly known as the Houthis, said Thursday that there were indications Saudi Arabia was planning a major escalation in Yemen, as the war between the two sides has been reignited following the July 13 Saudi strikes on the Sanaa International Airport.
