The United States has to freeze the assets of Saudi Arabia until this is settled according to US and international law. This is going to get real interesting. The Saudis do have the right to withold oil which would be their logical move.
It may well be a theoretical move but the fact of the matter is that it's the only natural resource that they have. For practical reasons, the house of Saud can't afford to cut off the flow of oil. Without military support, it cannot survive.
