The Saudi succession crisis centered on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS)[1].
The engine reads it as a dangerously fragile power setup with no clear heir.
MBS dismantled the traditional succession process — bypassing the Allegiance Council and staging the Ritz-Carlton purge — leaving no viable successor, while the $2 trillion Vision 2030 plan depends entirely on his continued rule.
It matters because a single point of failure at the top of a major oil state makes the whole region less stable.
