DID Press: The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States is reviewing the possibility of withdrawing part of its military forces from Saudi Arabia amid rising tensions between Washington and Riyadh over operations against Iran.
According to the report, Saudi Arabia has opposed the use of its bases for attacks against Iran, a position that has further deepened disagreements between the two allies.
The report also notes that the recent regional trip by US Senator Marco Rubio, which reportedly included a visit without a stop in Saudi Arabia, was perceived in Riyadh as a diplomatic slight, contributing to growing friction between the two sides.
