#1 Around the year 1900 there was the Heshamite kingdom of Transjordan and there was Yemen. There was no Saudi because the Saudi lived in Kuwait and were a favored warlord for protecting British caravans from the far east.

Then the British found oil on the Arabian peninsula. But the British will sware up and down that they did not find oil yet, even though they did.

Then the British made a deal with the warlord Saudis living in Kuwait.

The British would supply the money,the weapons, the strategic planning, the political support all around the world, and the Saudis would supply the puppet figurehead.

The British, using the Saudis conquered the southern part of Transjordan and the northern part of Yemen and established a new country called Saudi Arabia. (THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT EXIST,AND IRAN KNOWS IT)

But now, it has been discovered that under Yemen there is more oil than the Saudis had, plus there is natural gas the Saudido not have.

So, the race was on to conquer Yemen.

That is why the US, using Saudi (again) bombed Yemen for the last 12 years

#4 Sometimes I find myself idly wondering if the world was a better place when the British East India Company was running the show.

#6 I'd go for an intense "Houthi Infrastructure 7th Century reset" program. Just 7 days of smackdown would send a message to other Iranian tools. Use weapons nearing their expiration dates

#7 Use weapons nearing their expiration dates

I thought all those were given to Ukraine or left behind during the bugout from Afghanistan.
