CNN:

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has authorized possible military retaliation against Iran, calling its attacks on Saudi Arabia “cowardly.”

He says the Kingdom will take all necessary measures to defend itself.

Trump is seeking a quick end to the U.S. operation against Iran after a dramatic opening strike that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian military officials.
