This has the potential to be fun.

Iran supports the Houthis, who the Saudis are currently bombing and starving to death in Yemen.

The Houthis fired a ballistic missile over Riyadh earlier in the week.

Meanwhile Iran also supports Hezbollah, which is a significant faction in Lebanon.

With the Saudis having Lebanons leader in custody, will they now drop bombs on them too?

Either way, stock up on fuel. Price of oil is gonna go up.

And Hezbollah is telling Saudi Arabia to get out of Lebanese affairs
https://twitter.com/ynetnews/status/928623748814647296
BEIRUT – Hezbollah has called on Saudi Arabia to stay out of Lebanese affairs, saying the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri, announced from Riyadh over the weekend, "has raised many questions."



In a statement, the militant group's parliamentary bloc said Saudi Arabia was mired in crisis after the failure of its 2 ½-year military intervention in Yemen, which has led to a military stalemate.



Saudi Arabia has demanded that Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed group, play no role in Lebanon's government.

It's complicated as fuck and so requires actually effort to explain to people. Also a lot of this is in the air/ongoing and subject to change.
Bear in mind that most people don't even know what Lebanon is and good luck explaining what the fuck Hezbollah is and how it operates in a short and readable article, even bullet point summaries of Hezbollah are difficult.

Also 90% of journalists have no integrity and would rather explain to you why Plonald Plumpf was a big meany today and that he probably also smells and is poo.
 
It kind of sucks that the US has its throat jammed so hard on Saudi Arabia's moneycock that no matter how this goes down we're going to hear the otherwise tough guy Trump pledging our nation's support to the innocent good boy Saudis who dindu nuffin.

He probably made a deal: float Saudi Aramco on the New York Stock Exchange and we will support you militarily.
 
At the beginning of this year, I was convinced that the biggest threats for world wide military conflict breaking out were from China, Russia and the US.

Don't worry, all three have economic and political interests in the region so they'll be involved one way or another.
