I don't completely agree that NYT has framed this as Saudis being attacked, but I did find this sentence strange:
> "The findings show that the Iranian-backed Houthis, once a ragtag group of rebels, have grown powerful enough to strike major targets in Saudi Arabia, possibly shifting the balance of their years-long war."
Shifting the balance in the war? Not even remotely true and is quite simply impossible while the Saudis have all the help from the US.
- nl 9y agoThe way the Saudi's have been behaving is atrocious and indefensible. But the ability of the Houthis to strike Riyadh is a pretty significant development. If they show the ability to keep doing it consistently it will certainly change how the war is going.
