Saudi Arabia’s Mohammad bin Salman has accused Iran leader Ali Khamenei of being the “new Hitler of the Middle East,” reports claim.

Let them kill each other.
The naming of this area is a major point of contention between Arab and Persian culture. I noticed yesterday Trump called it the “Arabian Gulf” which is a nice poke in the eye to the Iranians, who do not consider themselves Arabs.

I’ve got some great ocean front lots to sell you in Arizona......
