#1 Would I be wrong to consider this and Iranian invasion of KSA?

Who will be the first of the Muslim Fanatics to claim ownership of Mecca?

Is there any real threat to the continuation of the Saud dynasty? Are the Eastern KSA Shia restless?

#2 Would I be wrong to consider this and Iranian invasion of KSA?

Invasion or raids, AlanC? All that destruction sounds more like raids to me. If they were staying, wouldn't they want to have the lookout towers, vehicles, and whatever was in the munitions depots?

#3 Would I be wrong to consider this and Iranian invasion of KSA?

Yes. They're just raids. I surmise what they're going after are border police stations. Wake me up when they go after the main KSA airbase (it's in the western part of the Magic Kingdom.)

Who will be the first of the Muslim Fanatics to claim ownership of Mecca?

I doubt Mecca is in any danger any time soon.

Is there any real threat to the continuation of the Saud dynasty?

Possibly.

Are the Eastern KSA Shia restless?

Not yet. Seems the Iranians are more interested in Bahrain at this point.I suspect they're work obliquely, for a few years at least.
