Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "the new Hitler of the Middle East".
Mohammed bin Salman, who is also Saudi defense minister, suggested the Islamic Republic’s alleged expansion under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei needed to be confronted.
"But we learned from Europe that appeasement doesn’t work. We don’t want the new Hitler in Iran to repeat what happened in Europe in the Middle East." the New York Times cited the prince as saying.
For his part, Khamenei has referred to the House of Saud as an “accursed tree”, and Iranian officials have accused the kingdom of spreading terrorism.
