This follows Trump’s push to undermine Saudi interests via an Iran deal, aiming to flood oil markets (reviving Iranian exports) to weaken Saudi geopolitical power and fuel U.S. AI growth (dependent on Saudi oil). Yet, Saudi Arabia’s history shows unmatched resilience through six oil crises:

→ 1973: Arab embargo sparked 15-year global inflation.

→ 2020: Outlasted Russia in price war, securing historic 10M bpd cuts.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar also supply 70% of global data center energy, critical for AI.

No Gulf energy = stalled global AI ambitions. Saudi’s survival through crises proves its strategic indispensability.
