Bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, is in a critical situation for his country. The rising costs of the war against Yemen and the intensifying budget deficit have put Riyadh on the brink of economic recession. It seems that the current war has seriously jeopardized efforts to strengthen the tourism industry, which is considered one of the key pillars of Saudi Arabia's economy.
Consequences of the Yemen War
The Yemen crisis has deepened to the extent that its consequences have gone beyond the borders of Saudi Arabia, turning the country into one of the main sources of financial support for global technology. Meanwhile, military pressures on Saudi Arabia have increased, and parts of the capital have turned into a battlefield. These developments have severely impacted Saudi Arabia's economic structure and led to a decrease in foreign investments.

Reduction of Missile Reserves and Security Concerns
Reports indicate that Saudi Arabia's interception missile reserves have significantly decreased to counter further attacks, and the country is unable to cover its entire area with air defenses. In this situation, Bin Salman has asked his advisors to keep political communication channels with Iran open. This move is seen as an effort to manage the crisis and reduce regional tensions.
According to this report, several key projects of Bin Salman have been halted due to the current economic situation, and plans related to hosting the 2029 Asian Winter Games have also been suspended. These developments reflect the serious challenges facing Saudi Arabia and the need for the country to attract international cooperation to overcome the crises.
Bin Salman is also moving among heavily protected palaces equipped with shelters. This indicates that he is trying to maintain his security while actively managing the crisis and preserving political communications. The members of the security team responsible for protecting these palaces have been carefully selected to prevent any potential threats.
