Saudi Arabia faces deepening regional conflict as Iran escalates attacks on the Kingdom. Recent drone strikes targeted Aramco facilities, forcing the shutdown of the country's largest oil refinery. The attack represents a significant escalation in tensions between the two regional powers.

Prince Turki AlFaisal, former Saudi ambassador to the US and chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research & Islamic Studies, spoke exclusively with Bloomberg about the Iranian provocations. The veteran diplomat discussed whether regime change in Tehran might be necessary to end the cycle of violence. His comments came during an interview with Bloomberg's Joumanna Bercetche on the Horizons Middle East and Africa program.

The attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure carry major economic implications. As a top global oil exporter, any disruption to Saudi Aramco operations affects global energy markets. The targeting of critical petroleum facilities demonstrates Iran's willingness to strike at the heart of Saudi Arabia's economic lifeline.
