The Yahuud are currently conducting their largest ever military exercise in their entire history involving over 100 fighters with several countries like Germany, Italy and the US participating, the aim is to seize Lebanon from Iran and it's proxy.
The Saudi's forced Hariri to resign and blame Hezbollah for it, as a retaliation a missile was fired towards Riyadh airport by the Iranian backed Houthi's, they further threatened to strike many more positions.
As a result the Saudi's have declared this as an act of war by Iran, they already blocked land, sea and air access to Yemen. A regional war that will turn global quickly is brewing in that region.
It's likely what Trump meant with "calm before the storm" comments in the beginning of October which he refused to elaborate on, after a military briefing.
Tehran has warned that those missiles will continue to rain down until the blockade is lifted.

Saudi Arabia has told its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country immediately.
It has also urged Saudis not to travel there.
Tensions between the two countries have risen since Lebanon's Saudi-backed PM Saad Hariri resigned on Saturday, saying he feared for his life.
Saudi Arabia has also accused the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah of firing a missile at it from Yemen shortly afterwards.
Many Lebanese fear that their country is becoming embroiled in a wider conflict between Saudi Arabia, a major Sunni power, and Shia-led Iran, its biggest regional rival.
In Lebanon, various political factions have called for the return of Mr Hariri, whom many believe was pressured into quitting by the Saudis.
He has made no further statement so far, but his office says he has been having meetings with foreign diplomats in Riyadh.
Meanwhile French President Emmanuel Macron, who is currently on a Middle East trip, said in an unexpected announcement that he would visit Saudi Arabia on Thursday evening.
He said he would discuss Lebanon and Yemen with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, adding that he had been in informal contact with Mr Hariri.
