It was reported yesterday that Saudi Arabia, ‘has shared intelligence’ with the United States, warning of an imminent attack from Iran on targets in Saudi Arabia,” he began. "Of course, Crown Jewel is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. And Dave Meltzer tweeted that ‘the best term regarding Saudi Arabia would be, quote, monitoring the situation. All plans are for the show at this moment, but you can’t control the real world.’
