Saudi Arabia's Dilemma:
1. Don't act and let al-Qaeda, ISIS, Houthis, and Iran get comfy in the Kingdom's backyard making Iran a hegemon i.e. Checkmate.
2. Act with Saudi boots on the ground, only to be sucked into a guerilla war where Iran tries to settle old scores for backing Saddam Hussein during Iran-Iraq war which leads us to...
The Real Question:
a. How many Saudi body bags can the royal family stomach?
b. How many Saudi body bags will it take for the public opinion to turn?
If the royal family don't waver once public opinion turns against the war, it will make a revolution more likely in the Kingdom which is what the royal family wanted to avoid by keeping Iran out of its backyard.
I wouldn't want to be Saudi Arabia right now.
