Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia continue, with daily life in the Kingdom reportedly unaffected. However, official and public anxiety within Saudi Arabia regarding a potential broader conflict with Iran is increasing, shifting threat perception from localized Houthi actions to a state-level confrontation. The extent of Saudi leadership's strategic strain from these dual threats remains unclear.
