What do you think about the Houthis closing in on the city of Taiz, Yemen? One of the last bastions of UN recognized Yemeni republic still standing? Will the Saudi directly invade to deter Houthi control?

Maybe so but other options aren't available, if the houthis start putting control in the region then it'll be a bad time for the saudis, not to mention that 40% of the saudi population (35 million) are foreigners and thus unable to enlist for the army.

I doubt they'll send anything more than material support. The Pakis are already serving in the SRAF since Saudis suck at flying.

If they're not willing to shill out meat bags in numbers then it might be serious trouble for the saudis, do you think Iran, yemenis, shias in general wish to control the Mecca? It'd be such a world catastrophe rivaling the making of the third temple in Jerusalem

I doubt it, their goal is to restrain the Sunni axis and to kick out the US from the region. Occupying Sunni territory would be too costly for them.

Maybe they're building nuclear weapons secretly? Just like Israel has 70 something warheads we don't know about, the Saudis did say if Iran had gotten hold of nuclear armaments then they'd do the same

I wouldn't be surprised if they are. Realistically they could build a dozen of them easily, they already have ~400 kg of 60% enriched uranium the location of which is unknown to the US.

Well, I don't have to explain how they source missiles and drones. The rough terrain makes it impossible to use any kind of heavy equipment, pretty much removing the technological edge of the KSA. Large caves provide perfect shelter from bombing raids and crucially they control the most populous parts of Yemen which means they have more manpower than the Saudi-aligned PLC.

Now that I think about it they do have 3 billion oil reserves as well, they might make themselves rich by selling oil at a satisfactory price, boosting their economy while bombing saudi infrastructure, the future might be bleak worldwide, bleaker for the saudis if things don't de-escalate

The most likely place they're keeping some of it is under Pickaxe mountain. Now the problem for the US is that the facility is buried so deep that even nuclear weapons wouldn't be able to damage it enough. They'd have to drop multiple GBU-57 MOPs in the exact same spot in quick succesion then finish it off with a nuke.

With them closing in on Aden it's a matter of time before the KSA folds, they aren't fighters and the Houthis are well aware of this. So a compromise will be reached, one heavily favoring them.

I doubt it'll ever come to nukes. It would set a bad precedent since it would allow Russia to nuke Ukraine just the same.

The latter is what will most likely happen along with formal recognition from KSA and ending of the war. I heard they'll also ask for reparations too.

If they do get these reparations they'll use them for….more drones and bombs to drop, I guess we'll see, there's also close by Ethiopia fending off Eritrea and other rebellious groups, I wonder if it'll tie all together

Across the Red Sea the KSA and Iran (as well as Egypt) find a common enemy, that being the UAE. The Sudanese civil war might as well be a proxy, between the government forces and the UAE-funded RSF. As for Ethiopia, the government there is supported by the UAE and in turn the local ethnic rebels are supported partially by Iran and Egypt.
