Saudi Arabia is not untouchable. It’s encircled, infiltrated, and quietly tested every single day.
Hezbollah sharpens Iran’s long game from the north, the Houthis from the south, while ISIS and Al-Qaeda lurk like dormant viruses that only need chaos to re-emerge, still seeing the House of Saud as apostates guarding holy ground with Western permission. Qatar smiles while undermining from within the Gulf, Turkey plays neo-Ottoman chess across the region, and Western political circles talk “stability” while gaming Saudi weakness in private briefings.
This isn’t a fortress, it’s a pressure chamber. The shock isn’t that Saudi Arabia has enemies; it’s that nearly all of them understand its red lines better than Riyadh does, and keep stepping just close enough to prove the shield leaks.
And then there’s the nightmare scenario Riyadh refuses to say out loud: friends don’t stay friends when leverage fades. The US just demonstrated it can flip alliances, grab assets, and rewrite rules when interests change, America now sits atop massive oil leverage of its own, from shale to strategic control elsewhere. So ask it plainly: does Washington really need Saudi Arabia anymore, or just access when convenient?
The UAE hedges relentlessly, Egypt follows money and survival, Jordan follows stability - none follow loyalty. The moment oil stops being fear-inducing and starts being replaceable, Saudi Arabia’s protection turns conditional, then negotiable, then optional. That’s the naked terror beneath the surface: a state surrounded by enemies, buffered by temporary friends, and powered by a leverage source the world is actively trying to outgrow.
So here’s the question that should haunt every reader: when both your enemies are patient and your allies are transactional, what exactly makes you untouchable?
Iran's Strategic Leverage:
- Paralyze Saudi: Use Houthis and Iraqi proxies to force constant defense and drain resources
- Desert nightmare: Saudi offensives face brutal logistics and exposure in vast, hostile terrain
- Oil leverage: Threaten chokepoints and supply to spike prices and sow paranoia
- Holy sites / nuclear leverage: Use religious symbolism and nuclear ambiguity to intimidate politically
what do you mean desert nightmare ?
Iran’s oil leverage lies in threatening chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz, where even the hint of disruption spikes prices and forces defensive overreactions.
Iran wields religious symbolism and nuclear ambiguity as political leverage, using near‑weapons‑grade enrichment to pressure Saudi Arabia and its allies without firing a shot.
Iran’s deserts and rugged terrain turn Saudi offensives into logistical nightmares, deliberately luring forces deeper to stretch supply lines and expose them to ambushes, drones, and escalating costs.
There are rumors and credible reports of elite infighting in Saudi Arabia, creating a silent tension where internal enemies wait patiently and it may only be a matter of time before one of their plots succeeds.

saudi doesn’t face a conventional military threat. it faces a cost-imposition war designed to steadily weaken deterrence, confidence, and alliances. the houthis apply tactical pressure by periodically striking oil infrastructure and border zones, forcing Riyadh to SPEND DISPROPORTIONATE RESOURCES to defend assets whose vulnerability is repeatedly exposed to markets and partners
yeah force saudi to defend everywhere and spread themselves too thin
Hezbollah could exploit regional tensions to strike symbolic targets or support proxy operations along Saudi’s northern border, aiming to signal vulnerability without full-scale war. ISIS may attempt high-profile terror attacks inside Saudi cities to undermine security perception and destabilize oil and religious hubs. Al-Qaeda, meanwhile, could focus on coordinated attacks against government or energy infrastructure, leveraging ideological networks to show Riyadh is not invulnerable.
also, Iraqi militia groups such as Kata'ib Hezbollah, Asa’ib Ahl al‑Haq, and factions linked to the Badr Organization apply ideological pressure, reinforcing narratives that delegitimize Saudi authority and normalize hostility toward the Kingdom across Iraq and the wider region
Russia and China are hacking Saudi industrial control systems
I think Saudi is going to pay for human rights violations soon because decades of silencing dissent, repressing women, punishing critics, and exploiting migrant workers have built a network of enemies (both inside and outside the Kingdom) who are patient, observant, and waiting for leverage to strike.
saudi will invade iran instead lol just look at the news bro lmao
iran and allies wage war to saudi through follows:
# creates paranoias
# optimizes for deterrence, influencers, cost imposition, survival, time
# make defensing expensive very than offense by make saudi always prepare
# and make saudi always ready for bottles to raise cost without crossing red lines
# saudis airspace is very heavy protected
#but flying cheap drones in Saudi air sky create confusion, disruption, strategic chaos hahahaha
# fracture saudi alliances by activate moles to sabotage with inside
