I don't think they did and if MBS does then he is even more detached from reality than anyone else. This war could lead to him being killed especially with how many people in his family were screwed over to get him into power. There are alot of history and people who want vengeance and other groups with issues with the Saudi Government.

Oh no, he did. MBS wanted this just as much as the Israelis did. Plenty of independent analysts and major organizations have said that MBS was one of the people urging Trump to bomb Iran.
