I think you may have mixed the two Salmans up. Salmanthe elder is king now and from what I hear and read, Salman the younger is the muscle. Wow, two members of their royal family working together!
There is talk that King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud could abdicate in the next few days due to dementia which would leave Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in control of the Kingdom.
