Mohammed bin Salman Faces Greater Internal Vulnerabilities Than Houthi Threat
ZeroHedge ·
According to Alastair Crooke, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman faces a more severe domestic danger than the ongoing attacks from Yemen. Following a third strike by Ansarallah on Riyadh International Airport, which resulted in 12 deaths and over 300 injuries, alongside escalating Iranian maritime aggression, pressure mounts significantly on President Trump. While the Saudi-led coalition's air campaigns have caused nearly 15,000 civilian casualties by September 2025, Yemeni forces have increasingly targeted vulnerable Saudi energy infrastructure. If precision strikes on key economic assets persist, Riyadh could experience catastrophic capital destruction, a sovereign debt crisis, and the potential collapse of MbS's flagship Vision 2030 initiatives. Furthermore, Riyadh's reliance on outdated anti-Iran propaganda and sectarian narratives has lost its efficacy across the region, leaving the kingdom politically and economically exposed as internal and external pressures converge simultaneously.
