🇸🇦🇾🇪 MBS is reportedly moving between bunkered palaces as Saudi Arabia runs low on ways to stop Houthi missiles.
Saudi officials say they're running low on interceptors, and the Houthis aren't letting up.
They've hit Riyadh's main airport at least 4 times, and Saturday's strike killed at least 12 people and injured hundreds, making it the deadliest attack on the U.S. or its Gulf allies since the Iran war began.
The economy is taking a beating too.
Saudi Arabia's Finance Ministry expects a 3.6% contraction this year, while many of MBS's megaprojects, Neom included, are stalled or under review.
MBS pledged around $1 trillion in U.S. investment, but Washington has so far resisted his requests for military help against the Houthis, sending advisers instead.
Riyadh is now turning to Pakistan and scrambling to find air defenses elsewhere.
A trillion dollars got MBS a White House welcome, but not the backup he's asking for now.
