Peace In Middle East Seen As Threat to Israel (none / 1)

CIA complained US was blindsided by Saudi outreach to Syria and Iran: Report | MEE |
Burns' comments challenge the US's official line that Saudi Arabia kept it informed of its talks with Iran to restore diplomatic relations.
"The Saudis did keep us informed about these talks that they were having, just as we keep them informed on our engagements," White House spokesman John Kirby said last month.
US officials have been quick to point out that they publicly supported dialogue between Iran and Saudi Arabia long before Beijing brokered the rapprochement.

CIA's Burns reaffirmed intelligence cooperation on Saudi Arabia visit - US official

The director reinforced our commitment to intelligence cooperation especially in areas of counterterrorism.

Yeah ... to root out jihadists, Mujahideen, Wahhabism preaching, etc. etc. 😂 😂

Frustrated CIA chief Bill Burns travels to Riyadh and tells MbS: Hegemon feels "blindsided" over Saudi Arabia rapprochement with Iran and Syria (brokered by China and Russia no less).

Heck, they didn't even ask our permission! [_link]
