Heir apparent to the Saudi throne, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that he agrees with US State Secretary Mike Pompeo, who called recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities a state-of-state act of war by Tehran.


The de-facto Saudi Arabia ruler said that while he agrees with the US assessment of the September 14 drone strikes, claimed by Houthi rebels, Riyadh would not rush into a war with Iran, as it would likely trigger the global economic collapse.


"The political and peaceful solution is much better than the military one," bin Salman, commonly known as MbS, told CBS program "60 Minutes," that aired on Sunday.
