    Why doesn’t Iran attack KSA, apart from a few US bases? I thought they were the main rival in the region, and given the extent that the US and Israel have already been attacking them I don’t see much risk of escalation

      They don’t need to. They’re winning, and widening the conflict now can only hurt them. All Iran has to do is sit tight, lob a missile at the strait every now and then, and wait for the US to fold. They’ve found the perfect strategy for this situation and opponent.
