Typically, such conspiracy minded people are referring to Israel, which supports Saudi Arabia as an opposing power to Iran. There is a long history of conspiracy theories of secret Israeli/Mossad control of the US government.

They don't; they spend decent money on marketing to public opinion, lobbying, and buying members of The Congress.
