- Saudi Arabia's military limitations are being exposed by ongoing Houthi attacks, according to WSJ's analysis
- Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia demonstrate the Yemeni rebels' growing strength, while Reuters reports Iran is using the group to turn the kingdom into a pressure point, and Amwaj.m frames the open question of whether the war against the Houthis has already been lost
Why it matters: Four outlets converge on the same diagnosis: Saudi Arabia's military — after years of intervention in Yemen — cannot reliably repel Houthi strikes, reframing the rebels from a domestic insurgency into an Iranian-aligned force successfully pressuring the kingdom. The Amwaj.m debate headline signals that serious analysts are now publicly asking whether the Saudi-led campaign has already failed.
