Eh, not sure. Can you tell me which scholars verified it's weak? I know Yasir Qadhi said something about it in a video, but it was one of the Khorasan hadiths, not all of them (there are multiple.) If Iranians are stupid enough to invade Syria they'll definitely be stupid enough to invade Saudi Arabia. Especially since they basically control Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq atm.
Some Sunni sources say hadith is weak and related to past caliphate. Although if it's true, it would come after some wars between Arabs and 'Romans'. I research this topic a lot and not many strong hadiths on Mahdi but there are hadiths about wars to take place before his emergence. One hadith mentioned ruler in Egypt fleeing to Rome and then invasion of Shaam through Alexandria. That would be beginning of 'great wars' before Mahdi emergence.
I've also looked at Shia version of Mahdi on their forums. They think what's happening in Yemen is part of it. I've read in detail their beliefs on his emergence and signs. They didn't make sense to me and appeared man made. I view them as misguided. We shouldn't hate them even if they hate us.
