      Saudi Arabia has been urging peace and trying to deescalate this entire time, because it is their fragile infrastructure that is on the line. Until now they did not allow their territory to be used for strikes against Yemen and didn’t participate in Operation Prosperity Guardian.

      If they are actually preparing a strike from their territory now it is because they have been harangued into it by the British/Americans.

        That deal between Saudi and Iran probably had unpublished Chinese guarantees and deterrence built in. The US must be really tightening the screws on Saudi if it's going to risk upending that deal.

      not sure but I think this is more about the zionist entity and Yemen's actions to stop its genocide

        At what point does the ROI on the Zionist entity drop too low though? It would seem to best thing to do at this point would be to "Ukrainify" it and throw them at Iran. At least at some point in the next 5 years. It's getting too expensive to maintain and without deterrence they don't project power anymore.

          but why, is it over control of Yemen's oil or something, is it more due to the sunni/shiite split since the houthis are iranian backed

            yeah you are reaching the end of my knowledge too. my understanding is same as you related to the iran sunni/shiite split. which is also tied to the petrodollar and to the us-approved world and the us-shitlist world.

            SA has a subimperialist role towards Yemen. They would extract value from its ports just like imperialists did in the past by giving themselves sweetheart deals. They also got to control oil production. And of course, part of SA's deal is to be US lackeys most of the time.
