Nah they stalled for years because they didn't want to piss off the Saudis and it's only now they're choosing to steam ahead with closing it because it has the bonus side effect of sticking the boot into the Saudi empire for not playing ball with America. Call me a conspiracy theorist but the timing's a little too perfect.
