The U.S. needs to be reducing its military footprint in the Middle East and disentangling itself from liabilities.
A formal defense commitment to Saudi Arabia is unacceptable and contrary to U.S. interests, and it is far too large of a bribe to give Riyadh just so that it will establish relations with Israel.
Creating a stronger U.S.-Saudi security relationship in opposition to Iran would likely make regional tensions worse and might encourage hardliners in Iran to pursue more confrontational policies. Far from fostering “true regional harmony,” this would stoke conflict by expanding the U.S. role in the Persian Gulf.
The U.S. would be needlessly locking itself into a regional rivalry in perpetuity, and that would reinforce and harden the divisions that recent rapprochements between Iran and its neighbors had started to weaken.
