> Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman cautioned the United States against taking further steps to escalate the war involving Iran. He said additional escalation could inflict severe damage on the global economy. At the same time, he argued that such action might fail to accomplish the objectives it is intended to achieve. The warning therefore combines concern over worldwide economic harm with doubt about the value of further escalation.
