Main target: oil fields in the Eastern Province around Qatif where the population is mainly shia.

Their main goal may be the eventual destruction of Mecca. Saudi Arabia was terrified of this when Iranians started helping Yemen last year and were landing in a port city close to Saudi Arabia. It is a relatively quick drive north for an invasion force to Mecca.

About 500 miles and that is a very very very long way if you have adequate air power to kill the nice neat columns of invading forces aside from ground forces that can and will fight. This "aint gonna" happen and I am not a fan of Saudi;
