"He looks young and is probably very inexperienced." I think that sums it up quite well. Saudi Arabia destroy Iran in eight hours?!!? Such patently ridiculous statements are hardly worth the time of day in all honesty and are not likely taken seriously by pretty much anyone.

While we cannot "know" without the actual fight, frankly I don't think Saudi Arabia can win a war with Iran much less destroy it at any time much less 8 hours. In any event, the claim is an extraordinary one that would require extraordinary evidence.

Perhaps this isn't a case of being young and inexperienced but of being mentally unbalanced. Maybe knowing the Yemeni efforts are failing he is in panic mode. People in panic mode may bluster to try an cover for their weak positions.

I think he means Irans naval and air assets which is easier than rebels scattered amongst civilians and civilian infrastructure.
