and while syria may have unexpectedly check mated to riyadh here the saudis around picking up attacks on iran on other fronts truly this is an international game of chess with nations and populations at stake ironic given that last year saudi arabia's highest islamic cleric banned chess saying that the game causes and miti and hatred between people and even when played on a giant geopolitical scale well it looks like he was right the unexpected resignation of the lebanese prime minister has only added to the tensions there's been speculation saudi arabia could be holding sayat hariri against his will riyadh has denied the claims however the leader of lebanon's political and military hezbollah movement has accused the saudis of unprecedented
