A Saudi Prince who has vowed to start World War 3 with Iran has become next in line to the kingdom’s throne in a controversial shakeup of the line of succession.
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman announced that 31-year-old son Mohammed bin Salman is next heir to the throne – despite the fact that this will likely result in a catastrophic war in the Middle East.
CNN reports: The newly-anointed crown prince was also appointed deputy prime minister and will continue in his role as defense minister, in which he has overseen the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
Was this unexpected?
While the announcement may have taken many by surprise, the move had been a long time coming. The fact that the King had handed his son so much power internally in recent years gave Saudi watchers the impression that he was being groomed for leadership.
It felt like only a matter of time before the now former crown prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, 57, was outmaneuvered. There had also been speculation that the crown would need to drop down a generation at some point.
The youthful Mohammed Bin Salman — who was already second in line before the reshuffle — was the obvious choice to modernize the monarchy while consolidating power.
