The extent of Saudi\u2019s involvement in the 2021 takeover talks for English Premier League<\/strong> club Newcastle<\/strong> is the focus of a piece from the Telegraph<\/a> that relies primarily on alleged leaked WhatsApp messages. <\/p>\n

The Crown Prince met with Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghch in Riyadh two weeks ago<\/a>, with Saudi officials sitting down with their Iranian counterparts on at least two other occasions during the month. The meetings signal a shift in strategy to contain threats from Iran, CNN says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
