A while ago, I spoke with someone who explicitly told me that Ansar Allah (Houthis) were pursuing regime change in Saudi Arabia. This guy is someone I trust, and he’s not the type to follow the hype or make things up. Not gonna lie, when he first told me, I thought he was joking or high on khat. I held off on sharing the information because it sounded completely bonkers. Just days later, a public figure from Ansar Allah (I forgot who) said the same thing. Now, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a spokesman and member of Ansar Allah’s Political Bureau, has repeated it almost word for word. He said Yemen supports any move or action inside Saudi Arabia aimed at overthrowing Mohammed bin Salman’s rule, and that this support extends to actions by the public, the opposition, or even members of the royal family. Then, yesterday, The Wall Street Journal published a report saying that Mohammed bin Salman has been moving cautiously between heavily guarded palaces equipped with bunkers, accompanied by handpicked security guards, amid fears of a potential assassination attempt. Well, it turns out the guy was right about what Ansar Allah is calling for. Regime change in Saudi Arabia still sounds pretty far-fetched, but apparently, this is something they’re openly talking about.

I don't think a country whose military has been “completely destroyed,” whose missile production capabilities have been crippled, or whose ballistic missile stocks are running low would conduct military exercises and launch a large number of them.
