Saudi Arabia Missile Interception, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Arrest
Saudi Arabia intercepted a Houthi-fired missile over Riyadh, an event described as a proxy war escalation with Iran. Simultaneously, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched a massive anti-corruption purge, arresting 11 princes including billionaire investor Al-Waleed bin Talal and Bakr bin Laden. The move is seen as a consolidation of power and a step toward the "Vision 2030" economic overhaul.
