As the US-Saudi relationship was growing slowly, World War II was beginning its first phase. The US was deeply involved in World War II, and as a result US-Saudi relations were put on the 'back burner'. This negligence left Saudi Arabia vulnerable to attack. Italy, an Axis power, bombed a CASCO oil installation in Dhahran crippling Saudi Arabia's oil production (Grayson, 1982). This attack left Bin Saud scrambling for to find an external power that would protect the country, fearing further attacks that would most likely cease the country’s oil production and the flow of pilgrims coming into Mecca to perform Hajj, the base of the Saudi power and economy at that time (Wafa, 2005).
Bin Saud therefore approved the US’s request to allow the US air force to fly over and construct airfields in Saudi Arabia. The oil installations were rebuilt and protected by the US (Grayson, 1982), the pilgrims’ routes were protected (Wafa, 2005), and the US gained a much needed direct route for military aircraft heading to Iran and the Soviet Union (Grayson, 1982).


In 1945, after World War II, Saudi citizens began to feel uncomfortable with US forces still operating in Dhahran. In contrast, Saudi government and officials saw the US forces as a major component of the Saudi military defense strategy (Pollack, 2002). As a result Bin Saud balanced the two conflicts by increasing the demands on US forces in Dhahran when the region was highly threatened and lowering it when the danger declined (Alnabrab, 1994). At this time, due to the start of the Cold War, the US was greatly concerned about Soviet communism and devised a strategy of 'containing' the spread of communism within Arabian Peninsula, putting Saudi security at the top of Washington’s list of priorities. (Metz, 1992) Harry S. Truman’s administration also promised Bin Saud that he would protect Saudi Arabia from soviet influence. Therefore, the US increased its presence in the region to protect its interest and its allies (Pollack, 2002). The security relationship between Saudi Arabia and the US was therefore greatly strengthened at the start of the 'cold war' (Metz, 1993).
