When was the last major wars Saudia fought against a sovereign nation? Is it on modernized, fully equipped and last man standing wars or the middle age?
Now if you want a serious confrontation, withdraw of all the American bases in the Gulf, tell them a you'll handle it yourself or we'll end up like what Iraq did in 1991. Err "33 countries" (including World Powers) approved military by a pinocchio who fled to Riyadh and beg for help
Stateless Kurds are funny. Despite being culturally, religiously, genetically and linguistically conquered and pissed at by Arabs and Turks for centuries they still think that they are relevant. Get a country first peasant and then speak.
GCC is "hot air". Is that why it DWARFS your failed state and any other regionals countries economy by a LARGE margin. Dwarfs you military and politically as well.
The Arabian economy would collapse without their migrant workers, who work in the private sector and do the real jobs.
First of all, Iran does have 8 main refineries, one of them (Abadan) is the the first one in ME and was one of the greatest in the world for years after its construction in 1912. Also the oil in ME was first discovered in Iran in 1908, before any other Arab country discovers oil and Iran's oil industry had grown significantly when Arabs first discovered oil decades later.
And comparing Iran ans KSA in oil industry is neither fair nor logical. Almost all of the major oil companies have helped and are already cooperating with Aramco to develop Saudi oil industry further, while all the foreign companies have leaved Iran because of sanctions. Also both Iran and Iraq had a significant decrease in oil productions because of the 8 year war and destruction of infrastructures, while Saudi Arabia has been aided by largest oil companies around the world, without being involved in any war.
Iran did have some problems in refining oil in the first years of oil sanctions (10 years ago), but almost all of them are solved with no help from outside.
I would like to see some sanctions like those in Iran against Saudi oil industry for years, then it would be totally fair to compare Iran and KSA situations.
And please, don't post links from 2007 for me.

8 refineries that are active right now:
Abadan Refinery (NIOC)
Arak Refinery (NIOC)
Tehran Refinery (NIOC)
Isfahan Refinery (NIOC)
Tabriz Refinery (NIOC)
Shiraz Refinery (NIOC)
Lavan Refinery (NIOC)
Bandar Abbas Refinery
Kermanshah refinery
Also there are more than 20 petrochemical plants in Iran, many of them built by Iran itself.

The Turks did not control anything. If were the Ottomans first of all who were a multi-ethnic society. Local Arab rulers, in fact my family, ruled Hijaz. They only paid their allegiance to the Sultan. In fact Arab influence went the other way. They copied everything from the past 1000 years rule of Arab Caliphates from the sole Caliphate and all that followed with that to everything else nearly. Ottoman Turkish itself was much more Arabic than Turkic and they also used an Arabic alphabet. In fact just 80 years ago Turkish had more Arabic words than traditional Turkish words. More than 50% of the Turkish vocabulary was Arabic and to this day there are more Arabic words in Turkish than any other foreign language.
Anyway for a stateless Kurd that is hilarious. Not only are you stateless and never had a state in your entire mostly useless history but Iran has the world record in getting conquered, ruled and submitted by outsiders from the day the Farsis ventured out of the Central Asian Steppes 2800 years ago.
Houthis really? Please don't tell me you're serious counting them as a regular army ruling a sovereign nation. #MEGAFAILAgainst the Houthi cult that your fake wannabe Arab Mullah's supported politically a few years ago. They got a severe beating.
Houthis?When was the last major wars Saudia fought against a sovereign nation? Is it on modernized, fully equipped and last man standing wars or the middle age?
Iraq failed to conquer, the new Iraq is our ally. Forget the past and re-read my question. Don't make me laugh with your failed answer.What a fool. Iraq at that time was the military superpower of the region. That is why your failed country that is nearly 4 times bigger and 2.5 times more populous could not defeat Iraq. In fact they did you much more harm to you than the other way around. So what do you expect Kuwait to do? Besides those times are over. Today little Kuwait has a more impressive air force than your failed country.
