Guardian: Reports " US officials said Saudi Arabia was moving heavy military equipment including artillery to areas near its border with Yemen, raising the prospect of military intervention, though Saudi sources said the move was purely defensive. "
Lets Get Real:
This could develop into a major disaster for the Obama Oval, on the one hand Saudi Arabia a close ally of the US might take action to defend its own border but also to make sure Iran does not gain more power via its support for the rebels in Yemen and due to the nuclear deal with the US. It has been clear from numerous sources that SA is very concerned about a nuclear armed Iran, a nuclear armed Great Iran is more of a troubling development. What if the proxy War between SA and Iran becomes a formal war, the US would be on the spot, the US gains billions from SA buying military planes etc from the US, while Iran could go nuclear with a limited time scope. The wishes of the Obama Oval could face the reality of the murky politics of the Middle East. Also Israel and SA are on the same page when it comes to Iran, it would be ironic if took SA and Israel through combat means to suppress the nuclear plans of Iran. That is the politics of the Middle East, murky and ironic.
