    You know what definitely doesn’t spur a people to revolution? A foreign power bombing them. If anything it has the opposite effect.

      What part of the title do you consider to be clickbait?

      “EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Military Tells Key Middle East Ally to Prepare for Attack on Iran”

      It’s an exclusive, and here’s the first paragraph.

      Senior U.S. military officials have informed the leadership of a key U.S. ally in the Middle East that President Donald Trump could authorize a U.S. attack on Iran this weekend, multiple sources have confirmed to Drop Site News. Strikes could commence as early as Sunday, the ally was informed, if the U.S. decides to move forward.

      Your issue seems to be with statements from the Saudis that are included in the piece. They are not there for you to take them by their word, but to know what they have said on the matter. And it’s basic journalism that you contact affected parties where possible and relevant, to give them a chance of a statement.

          The article isn’t about the Saudi quote pulled from news agency SPA, or about SA in general, though. It’s, just as the title suggests, about the imminent threat of the US attacking Iran, as gathered from high-level sources.
