This is an example of <u>self defense policy</u>.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Self defense policy is the policy that is taken to take care of the self. In case there is a threat, then to remove the threat, the policy of self defense can be used.
In this example also, since Saudi Arabia has a threat that it's rival will attack it and can cause huge damage to the country, it as a result of this takes up a measure for it's self defense. As a result of this it attacked Iran and tried to remove the threat.
This is false. Like most European countries, France was most interested in the import and trade of things like tobacco and sugar.
