"If the Shah's son returns, we Arabs become Iran's servants."
That's not a monarchist talking — that's Abdel Bari Atwan, one of the Arab world's best-known analysts, warning Gulf states.
It answers a big question: why did bin Salman and others never fully cooperate with Trump to end the Islamic Republic?
▪️ Saudi Arabia's humiliation against barefoot Houthis exposed how these states rose without any real capability — they simply filled the vacuum Iran left behind.
▪️ Under the Pahlavi era, Iran was light-years ahead militarily, economically, industrially and culturally.
▪️ A strong national government in Tehran ends their regional dominance overnight.
They don't fear the Islamic Republic. They fear Iran's return.
