Saudi Arabia is concerned that Iran may attempt to target senior officials in the kingdom, either directly or via the Houthis in Yemen, a source familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

One of the precautionary measures Riyadh has adopted since the start of the Israeli-American war against Iran is to hold meetings among ministers and other senior officials via video.

According to the source, Saudi leaders do not typically hold high-level video meetings during routine periods.

On Wednesday, KAN News reported that the Saudi leadership had increased security for senior officials, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his father, King Salman, amid concerns that Tehran or the Houthis may attempt to attack them.

Since the war began, Iran has launched dozens of missiles and drones toward Saudi Arabia. Among the targets hit were the CIA headquarters in Riyadh, Aramco oil facilities, and other civilian infrastructure. This represented a red line for Saudi Arabia in its dealings with Iran - a line that appears to have been crossed, prompting the kingdom to begin discussions about the possibility of striking Iran.
