According to The Wall Street Journal, citing Saudi officials, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is reportedly moving cautiously between heavily fortified palaces equipped with underground bunkers, accompanied by a carefully selected security team, as Yemeni attacks intensify.
The most alarming military development: Saudi Arabia is reportedly approaching a critical shortage of interceptor missiles, forcing authorities to redistribute air defense batteries between oil facilities and royal palaces in an attempt to protect the kingdom’s most strategic locations.
The balance is shifting: Yemeni attacks are no longer merely a source of pressure along the border. They have evolved into a war of attrition reaching deep into Saudi territory, threatening its economic projects and internal security.
And the question that must be asked: If Riyadh is already struggling to protect its vital infrastructure and royal palaces, how will it withstand a prolonged war of attrition with Yemen?
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Explosive American Admission: Iran Has Knocked Billion-Dollar U.S. Military Bases Out of Operation… Congress Warns Trump Against War in Yemen!
In striking remarks to CBS, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy revealed that Iranian strikes had dealt an unprecedented blow to the American military presence in the Gulf.
Murphy stated:
“We no longer have a naval base in Bahrain, nor an operational base in Qatar. The Iranians knocked these bases out of commission within minutes of the war beginning.”
He added that U.S. air and naval bases costing billions of dollars had suffered extensive destruction, accusing the Trump administration of concealing the true scale of the losses from Congress.
The figures cited by Murphy: $100 billion spent on the war and 20 American fatalities, without achieving the stated objectives.
He also warned against becoming involved in another war against Ansarallah in Yemen, urging Trump to end the confrontation with Iran rather than expand it.
The military irony: Washington spent billions of dollars building bases to maintain its superiority across the region. Today, it finds itself discussing the cost of rebuilding them and how to protect them from Iranian missiles!
