According to the American press, Saudi Arabia rejected the United States' request to use its bases and airspace for operation 'Liberty', which aimed to secure maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The project, announced by Donald Trump over the weekend, was suspended less than three days after its implementation. Although Trump cited a request from Pakistan not to disrupt negotiations with Iran, NBC suggests that the true reason for the suspension was Saudi Arabia's refusal. It appears that Gulf states were not informed about the details of the operation, and in subsequent discussions, Trump failed to gain the support of the Saudi leader. This situation reflects the existing tensions in the region and the complications in the relationships between the US and its Gulf allies.
