It's best for Saudi Arabia to make a deal. Its security and long term stability depends on diplomacy with the power in the region which is Iran

Nice one!

What a time to be alive!

I have always longed for the day Iran will install Christmas lights over Saudi.

The big for nothing country needs to be taught a lesson she will never forget.

Anyways, Another overhyped flying US junk has been exposed!

Why will a sane and progressive minded human wish that hopeless Iran thugs like Houthis will keep destroying a very organized and developing country like Saudi?

Do you know that Saudi Aramco was the most profitable company in the whole world last year by net? So you prefer their facilities being damaged?

People like you are the ones hailing Boko and herdsmen to keep destroying Nigeria in the name of religion.

Israel is so desperate that they don't care about damaging other countries to survive. Just like how they've dragged US down, they will do the same to Saudi. There's a reason why you should be cautious of people or nations in survival mode. I don't blame Israel

Some of you will just come online to dish out lies like other don’t have TV or internet access

Which Saudi Aramco was the most profitable company in 2025?

I have never supported terrorism and will never support terrorism!

If a nation is holding her grounds against imperialist and colonialist, I will support such nation.

The books of history taught me a lot and was lucky to have not been brainwashed by their imported religions.

The US has a stake in Saudi Aramco and if the US can target Irans oil installations l, then Iran has a right to reciprocate.

Dogalmighty17:
The Houthis have created their own SAM. This changes everything. This shows that they aren't just a rag tag group but are an organisation with some serious capabilities. They have developed their own ballistic missiles as well and have occasionally targeted Israel with it.

What does this mean? This means that Saudi Arabia cannot bomb the Houthis recklessly anymore without expecting a Houthi response. Developing and fielding an active surface to air missile is a level of complexity that few nations have been able to achieve and yet the Houthis have done it. It is only a matter of time before the develop ballistic missiles with precise targeting abilities.

The Saudis don't have F-35 fighter jets so only Israel and the US can take on the Houthis presently and Israel really doesn't want that smoke now and the US secretly sent officials to meet with Houthi leadership last night. So the US too isn't that keen on attacking the Houthis. Besides the last time the US bombed them, it did little to change the situation until the US got bored and left.

Stop jonzing. North Korea and China behind the scene

So who are the Muslims supporting now, is it Saudi, their religion capital or Houthi, their religion terrorist wing?

It’s too late!

That shiithole called Saudi was in position to halt what is happening today but stood behind the oppressors thinking it was protected.

At this point, everything needs to be burnt to the ground.

IRAN IS THE UNDISPUTED POWER OF THE MIDDLE EAST.

YOUR USA HAS BEEN COMPREHENSIVELY THRASHED, AND THEIR MILITARY BASES IN THE REGION, WITH EQUIPMENT WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TOTALLY SMASHED BY IRANIAN MISSILES.

THE AMERICANS ARE NOW DRAWING UP PLANS TO EXIT THE MIDDLE EAST ENTIRELY FOLLOWING THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR BASES BY IRAN.
