I think that’s the point. MBS continues to piss off the Mullahs by relaxing Islamic laws, so now women can drive, their dress code has been relaxed, they no longer have to be segregated from men, the guardianship rules have been relaxed, the Saudis are investing in golf, football, and they are trying to normalize relationships with Israel. It can’t happen overnight but by slow walking reforms, Saudi Arabia is trying to surreptitiously “Westernize”
