Good point. Iran has supported Hamas in the


past though I read that support has decreased as Hamas supported the Syrian opposition in the civil war.

As to your second point that is a possibility since the US and the Saudis have become even stronger BFFs. I know my Trump friends here stand no criticism of Trump but on this situation he is really screwing the pooch. A hot war between SA and Iran would have negative impacts far worse than the Arab Spring. The US has leverage. Israel needs our support for its survival but we seem to be taking a hard line here. But the US policy in the Middle East has been a disaster for the past 50 years anyway. So Trump may just be the last impetus for a sunni Shia conflict.
