Saudi crown prince: War with Iran would mean 'total collapse of the global economy'

[Swordsmyth]

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in an interview aired Sunday that a war between his country and Iran would destroy the global economy.

"The region represents about 30% of the world’s energy supplies, about 20% of global trade passages, about 4% of the world GDP. Imagine all of these three things stop," he told CBS's "60 Minutes" in an interview with Norah O'Donnell.

"This means a total collapse of the global economy, and not just Saudi Arabia or the Middle East countries."

Saudi Arabia has sent messages to Iran's president through the leaders of other countries, an Iranian government spokesman said on Monday, at a time of heightened tensions between the regional rivals."Messages from the Saudis were presented to (Iran's President) Hassan Rouhani from the leaders of some countries," spokesman Ali Rabiei said, according to the semi-official ILNA news agency. "If Saudi Arabia is really pursuing a change of behaviour, Iran welcomes that," he added
Rabiei did not give any information on what the messages contained.

That's good news, but I wonder if the US might invade even without Saudi support.

Trump won't, Pence or Pelosi might.
