This document is a scanned copy of a Washington Post article titled 'Amid the Arab Spring, a U.S.-Saudi split' by Nawaf Obaid, marked as 'Article 4' with a House Oversight footer. The text analyzes the deterioration of U.S.-Saudi relations following the Arab Spring, citing Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Bahrain (against U.S. advice) and disagreements over U.S. policy in Iraq and toward Israel. The article also highlights the rising tension between Saudi Arabia and Iran, noting Iran's funding of proxy groups and criticism of Saudi actions in Bahrain.
This document appears to be a page from a geopolitical report or briefing (likely circa 2011) discussing the 'Arab Spring' and its impact on Saudi Arabia. It details Saudi concerns regarding the fall of Mubarak in Egypt, protests in Yemen against President Saleh, and unrest in Bahrain against the Al-Khalifa family. The text highlights the sectarian tensions (Sunni vs. Shiite) and Saudi suspicions of Iranian interference in Yemen (via Houthis) and Bahrain, despite US observations that the movements were homegrown.
