The U.S. has authorized arms sales to Saudi Arabia

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has approved requests to replenish Saudi Arabia’s stockpiles of weapons and ammunition. The move involves the transfer of weapons to restore the country’s military reserves. 

CNN reported on the decision.

According to a source, Washington has agreed to grant Riyadh’s request for additional weapons.

In addition to direct deliveries, the U.S. has also authorized the transfer of weapons through third countries. This allows allies to supply Saudi Arabia with American weapons from their own stockpiles.

According to the source, Riyadh is concerned about Iran’s threats to attack civilian infrastructure in the region in response to possible U.S. strikes on Iranian targets.

It is also noted that close coordination has been established among the Gulf countries that have already been attacked. 
 

Several countries are relaying messages between the U.S. and Iran.

Additionally, explosions were heard in Tehran during Trump’s remarks.
