Saudi Arabia warns Iran: Will not tolerate threats to Gulf state

[King Solomon]

not once after the war is over , it will start even before the war itself start.

Well, proxy war is already going on.

as far fire power is concerned GCC is way ahead of Iran but in any war like situation it is being calculated that what the each warring party has to loose.

Iran may resort to very unconventional means of warfare. If it is just KSA, I don't see them winning. But I doubt it would be a very short war either.

Iran has highly advanced bio-warfare capability only after Israel and Egypt in the middle east, but I think it will not have to resort to that to win the war.

Well, if Iranian Sejils manage to knock down the financial centres of GCC and oil refineries within the first few hours with a naval blockade AND the US does not intervene, I do not see the GCC continuing after that. Unconditional surrender.

But what would happen in all probabilities is, Arabs would start begging US for help. UAE begged a few days ago and got US to station some F 22s in its country. Such shameless cowardly beggars.

Iran President who is democratically elected visit the island but did not make any threats to any one, he is a logical President
Iran always said and is saying attack us then we will attack you
Iran knows very well what war can bring in any country no matter you are in a wining or losing side

GCC will suffer still from the Iran and as well Iran will suffer
GCC has the latest toys but Iran has 1970 1980s and some new toys but that doesn't mean they are to be underestimated even USA is not provoking Iran so better to be Peace then war
Iran is and are battle hearten people so when you go to war think you are at war with Persian Empire

but it is truly shame to see that the Islamic nations are divided
i am so sad Saudi always take the other side
rather then the Truth , no need to take the Saudis the side of Iran or USA or EU

Iranian military doctrine is purely defensive. Iran has never threatened anyone including Israel, where the president's speech is misquoted.

Well in one line : Fat Arab Kings have their American masters to protect them. Simple.

You hate Iran more than you hate Israelis and Americans .... You never raise your voice against American military bases present all over the GCC ... An aggressive diplomacy could have probably prevented Iraq-invasion...but you royals just sat back and drank beer while Americans were bombing your neighbor Arabs! ...

No need to 'compare' anything. Iranian engineers built their own missiles, improve them, build their weapons , build navals ships , build ocean liners and what not? Come back when your GCC indigenously build some decent missile force or ship fleet etc ...

At least those kings don't allow other countries blow up their own citizens for a few$...

But they allow to blow up citizens of other countries in other countries.

Daily Nonsense "RSA warns; come back when you liberate Palestine. OR atleast deliver Food-Medicines and defy israeli blockade."

Agreed. On its own against Iran, the UAE does not stand a chance. It will be in their best interests not to provoke Iran needlessly. Just a barrage of rockets into Dubai would spell the end of the UAE as a business giant. Investors would bolt and run.

You can tell the Arabs have always had issues with a strong Iran. KSA has been repeatedly asking the USA to attack Iran and 'decapitate the snake'.

Dealing with Iran is certainly not going to be easy. Iran will definitely not win if the USA does attack, but I am pretty sure they have enough ability to take Israel down with them if they do get attacked.

Iranian Sejils - sorry I'm not familiar with the term. These are like commando units/airplanes/ships? Could u pls explain a little? Thanks.

But they allow to blow up citizens of other countries in other countries.

Daily Nonsense "RSA warns; come back when you liberate Palestine. OR atleast deliver Food-Medicines and defy israeli blockade."

KSA is an American ally mate. They will do neither. Especially not since they do need the Americans against Iran.

Iranian military doctrine is purely defensive. Iran has never threatened anyone including Israel, where the president's speech is misquoted.

Alot of parallels have been drawn between Iran and Nazi Germany, most of it coming from Israel's end though. Even certain personalities in the US, think Clinton, was against this.

...Egypt Iran relations are flourishing at the moment after Mubarak has been ousted and there is no reason to believe Egyptians would die for Abdullah, who you consider to be your master...

50% increase in Egypt-Saudi trade volume in 2012


Saturday 28 April 2012 : 01:00 PM

The amount of trade between Egypt and Saudi Arabia increased during the first quarter of 2012 by 50 percent, compared to the same period in 2012, an Egyptian official has said.

Hussein Omran, director of the foreign trade department at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, told the Saudi Al-Watan newspaper on Saturday — the volume of trade exchange between the two countries reached unprecedented levels during the first three months of 2012, to a record US$1.21 billion compared to $800 million in the same period in 2011.

He said that the volume of trade between the two countries amounted to a gross of about $4.75 billion by the end of 2011, compared to $4.1 billion in 2010, with an increase of nearly 16 percent. Omran expected the figure to exceed $5 billion by the end of 2012.

Saudi investments in Egypt are estimated as being worth around $12 billion, of which $4 billion worth are facing major problems after the government seized some Saudi companies after court rulings revoked the sale contracts of those companies due to irregularites.

Egypt said that it is working on solving all the problems facing the Saudi investments in the country.

Omran added that Egypt's imports from the KSA during the first quarter of 2012 amounted to about $682 million, while the total of Egypt's exports was about $528 million. He pointed out that this means the bilateral trade balance has achieved a surplus of $300 million in favor of Saudi Arabia so far in 2012.

He added that the total number of Saudi projects established in Egypt is about 2315.

Saudi Arabia committed to support Egypt’s economy by $3.75 billion


Wednesday, 29 February 2012
By Al Arabiya

Saudi Arabia is committed to support Egypt’s economy, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said on Tuesday. “The Kingdom is committed to offer Egypt $3.75 billion.”

Faisal pointed out that a sum of $0.5 billion has already been transferred by Saudi Arabia as a grant in support for the Egyptian budget in May 2011.

Faisal’s statements came in response to recent accusations by Egypt’s Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzouri, who said that Egypt did not receive any financial support from the Gulf states.

King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz “is very keen to address what is best for the brotherly Egyptian people, for the sake of overcoming the challenges facing the Egyptian economy.”

Ganzoury was quoted few days ago as saying that “Arab and foreign countries have vowed to offer Egypt financial aid, but the promises were not fulfilled.”

Saudi Arabia was one of the first countries which promised to support Egypt financially following the popular uprising that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt revive Red Sea bridge project


Egypt Independent
Thu, 01/03/2012 - 12:41

Egypt and Saudi Arabia have agreed to build a bridge between the two countries that was initially planned in the 1980s and could be ready for use next year, Saudi newspaper Al-Watan reported Thursday.

The two countries agreed under former President Hosni Mubarak to implement the project but it was subsequently postponed.

The newspaper, which is owned by a member of the royal family, quoted an official Saudi transportation ministry source as saying that the two countries are set to begin serious negotiations within a few weeks to outline the technical details of the project. The source added that the initial cost of the bridge is estimated at US$ 3 billion.

The bridge would extend from the Tabuk region in Saudi Arabia to the beginning of the Gulf of Aqaba in Egypt, at a length of 50 kilometers across the Red Sea, and could be ready by mid-2013, the paper reported. The two sides have reportedly agreed to name the bridge after the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques," Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz.

The bridge is designed to facilitate the movement of trade and individuals, especially during the pilgrimage seasons of Hajj and Umra, as well as reduce the travel distance and time between the two countries and their regional neighbors, such as Syria and Iraq.

Studies suggest the cost of the project can be recovered within 10 years through tolls on religious pilgrims, tourists and workers who cross the bridge.

The newspaper added that the project is similar to the King Fahd Causeway connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which was established in 1982 at a cost of about 3 billion riyals. However, the report mentioned, this bridge will connect two continents.

The People’s Assembly, Egypt's lower house of Parliament, debated the issue this week, and Speaker Saad al-Katatny submitted an information request to Transportation Minister Gamal Mostafa Mohamed al-Sayed about the reasons the project was halted, its location and the building costs.

Al-Masry Al-Youm quoted an Egyptian Transportation Ministry source on Monday as saying that Saudi Arabia had previously "rejected the implementation of the project for security reasons."

Initial studies for the project, which was announced in 1988, showed that the massive land-sea bridge would cross the Tiran Strait at the entrance of the Gulf of Aqaba in Egypt through the Ras Hamid area in Tabuk in northern Saudi Arabia.

Un pont reliera en 2014 l'Egypte et l'Arabie Saoudite

Lundi, 05 Mars 2012 10:52 Desk

Dans deux ans, l’Egypte et l’Arabie Saoudite seront reliés par un nouveau pont. Les travaux de construction du pont qui traversera le golfe d'Al Akaba sur une longueur de 50 km, débuteront en 2014. Ce méga projet proposé initialement par les autorités de Ryad, précise-t-on au ministère saoudien des transports, constitue "un point de passage économique entre le Machreq et le Maghreb et reliant l'Asie centrale à l'Europe de l'Est". D'un coût global de 3 milliards de dollars, ce projet est financé à hauteur de près de 75% par l'Arabie Saoudite et de 25% par des compagnies pétrolières égyptiennes.

Une fois achevé, précise un haut responsable saoudien, le futur pont va augmenter sensiblement le flux des marchandises et des personnes par la voie terrestre entre les deux pays. Il reliera le nord de la ville saoudienne de Tabouk à la ville touristique égyptienne de Charm El Cheikh.

Hello, bubblegum; how much is spent, and how much is being spent on Palestinians well being in form of shelter, food, water medicines, how many air cargoes have been airlifted for the needy Palestinians.

 

[Abii]

logic of a wahabi is no more than a fish^^

@ Bubblegum, S19 talked about Iran-Egypt relations which simply didn't exist for more than 3 decades under HM. Why are you bringing a joint construction project between Saudi and Egypt into the discussion? He didn't even mention SA in that post. Iran and egypt are now conducting trade, talking about opening embasies, Iranian warships are passing through the Suez etc... and just a couple of years ago the two countries were enemies. There is a clear trend here. Saudi-Egypt relations have hit a rough patch over the last couple of weeks, but of course trade will continue and things will get better. However, that wasn't S-19's point.


@ all the wahabis. Please please use logic when you're discussing and read people's posts and try to understand them. Also, do realize that you guys are nothing but US protectorates and without them you would have no army, no economy, no oil production and no experts to run your countries. It's simply a matter of time before you guys go back to living in tents.
