Saudi Arabia has called on the United States to continue and intensify its ongoing attacks against Iran, according to a report published on March 27, 2026. Citing Saudi intelligence sources, The New York Times reported that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged U.S. President Donald Trump not to shorten the war. The crown prince reportedly views the U.S.-Israeli military campaign as a historic opportunity to reshape the Middle East.

The intelligence source further indicated that Riyadh is not only urging the continuation of military operations but also advocating for their escalation. Despite the conflict entering its fourth week, there has been no confirmed report of direct Saudi military involvement. Analysts cited in the report suggest that Saudi Arabia may consider joining the war if the ongoing peace efforts led by Pakistan fail.

The report underscores growing regional tensions as Iran faces intensified attacks, while diplomatic initiatives struggle to contain the conflict.
