    Growing US-Saudi friendship: Ayatollah calls Saudi Arabia a 'milked cow'
  • A latest report from Iran's semi-official news agency Fars has reported that its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei termed Saudi Arabia, " a cow milked by the United States".

    He further accused Saudi of "trading wealth with pagans and enemies" and said that "Saudi is stupid to think it can attract the friendship of enemies by giving them money."

    Let's understand what this means!

  • Iran and Saudi Arabia are dominated by Shia and Sunni Muslims respectively, who harbour rivalry. The two sects emerged out of a 1000 year old dispute over who should be chosen as the successor of Prophet Mohammad.

    US President Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia recently and signed a weapons deal worth 110 billion dollars. He had also tried to put an anti-Iran alliance together.

    US, Iran and Saudi Arabia- Different sides at different times

  • Conclusion

    What does this mean?
  • Trump on his Saudi Arabia visit attempted to get Arab leaders on board in an anti-Iran alliance. With Iran calling Trump's visit insignificant and has slammed Saudi Arabia's growing ties with Europe, US and Iran are hence likely to return to hostility.

    Growing hostility in Iran-Saudi relations can further prolong the Syrian and Yemeni conflicts, with both sides preventing the other from gaining influence.
