They've never been able to do this ever. It's why they needed the US to bail them out when Iraq invaded Kuwait. Even assuming the Sauds had a military that wasn't complete trash, they don't have the manpower to take on a real country like Iran or a Shia-dominated Iraq.

They're already fighting in Yemen with hired on Southern Yemenis and South American mercenaries who have been murdering leftists for decades, but it's not making any difference.
