My Comment: Such an intervention will pit Iranian forces against Saudi troops .... but more importantly .... they will also face U.S. forces and the main naval base for the U.S. Fifth Fleet.

If you want a scenario for all out war in the Persian Gulf .... this is the way to go. But my expectation is that the Iranians will just talk the talk .... but they will definitely NOT walk the walk.
