The political tension between Saudi Arabia and Russia took a new turn over the Syrian crisis. As the mutual accusations between the two parties escalated, a senior official in the Russian air forces announced that his country had set the plans to strike Riyadh and Doha.

Although the diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia have experienced several pitfalls since its return between 1990 and 1991, critical conditions dominate over these relations nowadays.

Saudi FM Saud al-Faisal accused Russia, few days ago, of supporting the “genocide carried out by the Syrian army.”

In response, official spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs charged Riyadh of backing the terrorist groups in Syria.

These mutual accusations came in context with the Russian threat of shelling Riyadh and Doha that was voiced by the senior official in the Russian air force who revealed the details of the squadron of warplanes, the flight path, and the duration needed to carry out the mission.
