Saudi Arabia faces three-front pressure; US restraint shifts regional calculus

Saudi Arabia is under simultaneous pressure on three fronts—likely Iran-aligned attacks, Houthi strikes, and internal or economic strain—while the US withholds direct support, marking a deviation from the traditional security guarantee. The situation threatens regional stability and oil supply, with potential beneficiaries including Iran or Russia. The exact nature of the three fronts and US inaction remain unspecified, but the strategic shift is significant.
