A pattern has been emerging whereby the Saudis spent money and effort to gain influence in a neighbouring country as part of the fight with Iran for dominance in the region...only for them Iranian boys to come through and crush the buildings.
Spent so much money, time and effort in Iraq...Syria...Yemen..Lebanon...and they all ended up under the Iranian sphere of influence

A senior Iranian official has said that Tehran will supply the Lebanese army with military equipment to be used in fighting armed groups.
Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told reporters in Beirut on Tuesday that the details would be announced during an upcoming visit by Lebanon's defence minister to Tehran.
A diplomatic source told the Reuters news agency that the Iranian defence minister would soon ask his Lebanese counterpart for a list of weapons needed by the army.
Shamkhani is expected to meet Lebanese officials, including Prime Minister Tamman Salam and Speaker Nabih Berri.
The Lebanase army has been stepping up efforts to prevent Sunni Muslim fighters from Syria entering Lebanese border towns.
