English Wikipedia article on Mohammed bin Salman; used for entity facts only. It gives him as Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia from 21 June 2017 and Prime Minister from 27 September 2022, son of King Salman, defence minister from 2015, the author of the Saudi Vision 2030 programme announced in April 2016, and records his reforms curtailing the Wahhabi religious establishment, the lifting of the ban on women driving in 2018, his televised criticism of fixed schools of thought, and — attributed to a United States ODNI assessment — the finding that he ordered the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, which he has denied while accepting responsibility as leader. Its infobox religion field reads 'Sunni Islam'; its text names no school as his own. It gives his birth at Riyadh on 31 August 1985.
