Rumors of War - Persia

Saudis intercept seven ballistic missiles fired at cities by Houthis in Yemen - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Saudi Arabia announced that it intercepted seven ballistic missiles fired at Riyadh, its capital, and other major cities, the largest barrage in its three-year war in Yemen.[...] The escalation in the conflict, which on Sunday clearly targeted civilian populations in Saudi Arabia, could reinforce Riyadh's demands to curtail the influence of Iran in the region. The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan condemned the missile attacks on Monday, pledging to stand in solidarity with the Saudis."

Comment: The real danger is that the Saudi vs. Iranian war for regional domination could draw in the other major powers and engulf the region in a major war.
