Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has named Prince Mohammed bin Nayef to replace his half-brother Prince Muqren, whom was previously appointed by the founder of Saudi Arabia, King Abdul-Aziz al-Saud and the Allegiance Council, as crowned prince and prime minister. As reported, Prince Nayef is now the most likely successor to King Salman for his role as Saudi Arabia’s counterterrorism tsar. Also, king's 30 years old son Prince Salman now takeover what was previously Prince Nayef's duty and become the deputy of Prince Nayef. Prince Salmon is also the defence minister of the nation, and this promotion made him the second in line to the throne. Also, the foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal was replaced by now Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi Arabia ambassador to the US. The replacement of the crowned prince is most likely been consulted the Allegiance Council first before it took place.
