On Sunday in Saudi Arabia, US president Donald Trump delivered his first speech abroad at the unprecedented US-Arab-Islamic summit, in attendance of 56 Arab Muslim leaders, including Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi. The US president accused Iran of destabilising the region by supporting terrorism and arming militias that spread destruction and chaos. Zahran described Saudi Arabia as the US agent in the Islamic world now, and the main goal of the summit was to create a fake conflict in the region between Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims, saying that the summit was a Sunni mobilisation against Iran. Political analyst Ali Baker advises Hamas to quickly distance itself from Iran due to the unpredictable maneuvers of the US president. For decades, Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran have competed for religious leadership and political influence across the Muslim world.
