Скачать или смотреть The Day the Lion Fell The Assassination of King Faisal

The morning of March 25, 1975, shattered the normalcy of the royal court in Riyadh. As the steadfast King Faisal bin Abdulaziz greeted visitors, a sudden, tragic act of violence silenced one of the Arab world's most influential voices. His death sent shockwaves across the globe.

The assailant was captured immediately, faced justice, and the ruling was carried out. Yet, the motive remains a subject of haunting speculation. Was it a personal feud? Or, more profoundly, was it retaliation for the King's legendary geopolitical gambit during the 1973 October War? King Faisal had boldly wielded oil as a weapon, imposing an embargo on the West to support Egypt and Syria—a move that reshaped the global balance of power.
His passing was a devastating blow to the Arab and Muslim world. He was a leader whose courage defined an era, famously praised by President Anwar Sadat as "the hero of the Battle of the Crossing" and the architect of the "battle of oil."
May God grant him mercy and a place in Paradise.
