Saudi commentator Dr. Mansour Al-Malik warned early Tuesday that if any Saudi airport is attacked, Tehran's airport will be targeted for 'destruction and complete shutdown,' according to security analyst Hananel Aviv. The threat was directed at the Iranian regime.
Saudi commentator Dr. Mansour Al-Malik, a frequent analyst on Saudi affairs, issued a threat to the Iranian regime early Tuesday, warning that Tehran's airport would face destruction and complete shutdown if any Saudi airport is attacked. The statement was reported by security analyst Hananel Aviv. The threat is notable as it comes from a Saudi figure rather than a Houthi official, suggesting a widening of the rhetorical front. The Zioneer has reported on a series of Houthi threats to Saudi airports (July 12–13) and a state of alert at Saudi airports (July 13) amid fears of attacks. A Houthi official also threatened to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on July 13. The Saudi commentator's warning adds a new dimension to the regional tensions, though it remains a single-source statement and has not been independently verified.
