Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman faces fresh international and regional pressure after France opened a new judicial investigation into the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Human-rights groups have long accused MBS of complicity, while Saudi authorities insist rogue officials acted without leadership approval. The renewed probe comes as Iran escalates rhetoric against Gulf states aligned with the United States. Senior Iranian adviser Mohammad Mokhber warned that Tehran’s restraint “is not perpetual,” accusing Gulf nations of supporting Trump’s war efforts. The overlapping legal scrutiny and Iranian threats now create a major geopolitical headache for Riyadh amid rising Middle East tensions and Hormuz security fears.
