Saudi Arabia's defense, energy, economic and foreign policy and the decisions of its leadership, covering the Kingdom's military posture and procurement, oil and industrial strategy, key officials and royal decision-makers, and its relations with regional and global powers.
Saudi Arabia is fighting on multiple fronts at the height of the MBS era: a Houthi offensive that has penetrated its air defenses and struck the East-West Pipeline, a resumed US-Iran war, fiscal strain that is forcing more borrowing and cuts to new Vision 2030 commitments, and a recalibration of alliances.
This country hub consolidates intelligence on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his energy advisers, Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman and Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman; the rapprochement with the UAE over Yemen; the MoD's air-defense failure investigation and outreach to France, the UK, Egypt and Pakistan; the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement; Steel Dome, Akinci and UAV-300 interest from Turkey; Shield AI's V-BAT; the F-35 approval and civil nuclear agreement; Aramco's gas division, pipeline tenders and asset protection; and GAMI, SAMI and HUMAIN.
The definitive intelligence layer on the Kingdom for defense primes, sovereign investors, energy desks and policy strategists.
