Is OPEC+ mulling an oil production increase? Saudi says previous cut will stay in place till end of 2023

After a Saudi Arabian intelligence report hinted at an imminent attack from Iran, the United States has expressed its concern and has said that it will not hesitate to respond if necessary.&nbsp;Saudi Arabia has reportedly warned the United States that as a distraction manoeuvre to shift the limelight from its ongoing Hijab protests, Iran is planning to attack the kingdom.&nbsp;

"We are concerned about the threat picture, and we remain in constant contact through military and intelligence channels with the Saudis," said the spokesperson from US'&nbsp;National Security Council, adding, "We will not hesitate to act in the defence of our interests and partners in the region."

Reuters reports that the latest concerns came as relations between USA and Saudi face a strain following last month's OPEC+ decision to cut oil output targets. Reportedly, this has led to a fear of rising oil prices in America and ahead of the midterm elections, and President Joe Biden is facing pressure to retaliate appropriately.&nbsp;

As senators urged the White House to freeze all cooperation with Riyadh and place limits on arms deliveries, Biden had said that there will be consequences for Saudi.

As per a Wall Street Journal report published on Tuesday, Saudi officials claimed that in an attempt to distract from the ongoing Hijab protests in the country, Iran is poised to launch an attack on Saudi, and Iraq's Erbil.

Riyadh has already launched multiple attacks against Iraq. Since late September, it has already attacked Northern Iraq using ballistic missiles and armed drones. The US had even thwarted one attack on Erbil.

Iranian authorities, as per the WSJ report, have blamed, Saudi Arabia, Israel and US for the unrest it is facing, claiming that these nations have instigated the demonstrations.

US concerned about imminent Iranian attack on Saudi, says 'will not hesitate to act in defence'

Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz stated on Sunday that his country was working hard to ensure stability and balance in the oil market, including through establishing and maintaining the OPEC+ alliance's recent contentious agreement.

"Our country is working hard within its energy strategy to support the stability and balance of global oil markets," said King Salman, as per the Saudi Press Agency.

The United States has had a severe reaction to the decision with lawmakers going so far as to threaten Saudi with a potential one-year freeze on all arms sales.

With US-Saudi at loggerheads over OPEC+ oil cut, King Salman says 'working to support stability of markets'

The promises of a politician are fickle in nature. Every politician makes campaign promises that turn out to be bogus, and for US President Joe Biden his 2019 vow to declare Saudi Arabia a "paraiah" due to its human rights record is now one among that long list. He had made this promise after a report by US intelligence services said that the desert country's crown prince and de-facto leader Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) was behind the 2018 killing and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. However, the recent picture of Biden fist-bumping MBS has undermined the leader's strong words.

With the fist bump, the US President has tarnished his long-cultivated reputation as a champion of human rights.

As the Post's CEO Fred Ryan said the fist bump in Jeddah "was worse than a handshake -- it was shameful".

"It projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to MBS the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking."&nbsp;

This photo was taken outside a palace in Jeddah. It was promptly circulated by official Saudi news agencies before becoming viral on social media, reports AFP.

The White House hastily prepared for Biden to make a brief speech. As per AFP, Biden says he brought up the Khashoggi case "at the top" of his conversation with Prince Mohammed, and he was explicit about "what I thought of it at the time and what I think of it now."

"My views on Khashoggi have been absolutely, positively clear, and I have never been quiet about talking about human rights," he said at a press conference.&nbsp;

The fist bump, though, had already become the tour's signature moment.&nbsp;

Biden had earlier said that the trip was made "to promote US interests", which is seen as a likely reference to the need to persuade the top petroleum exporter in the world to increase oil output. After all, rising gas prices could hurt his party's chances in the upcoming midterm elections in November.

Human rights advocates in the US do not sympathise with Biden.

Human rights vs elections: Who wins? Biden's 'support for human rights can be sold for a smidgen of oil'

President Donald Trump made an undiplomatic remark about close ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, saying he warned Saudi Arabia’s King Salman he would not last in power “for two weeks” without the backing of the US&nbsp;military.

“We protect Saudi Arabia. Would you say they’re rich. And I love the King, King Salman. But I said ‘King - we’re protecting you-you might not be there for two weeks without us - you have to pay for your military,’” Trump said to cheers at a rally in Southaven, Mississippi.

Trump did not say when he made those remarks to the Saudi monarch.

Despite the harsh words, the Trump administration has had a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, which it views as a bulwark against Iran’s ambitions in the region.

Trump made Saudi Arabia his first stop on his maiden international trip as president last year.

Trump called King Salman on Saturday and they discussed efforts being made to maintain supplies to ensure oil market stability and global economic growth, according to Saudi state news agency SPA.

Saudi Arabia is the world’s top oil exporter and the de facto leader of OPEC, which has been criticized by Trump for high oil prices.

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month, Trump said OPEC members were “as usual ripping off the rest of the world.”

“We defend many of these nations for nothing, and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices. Not good. We want them to stop raising prices, we want them to start lowering prices,” Trump said.

He has also pressed other US&nbsp;allies, such as Japan, South Korea and Germany, to take more of the financial burden of their defense.
