While he maintains power as King, many argue that [[Mohammad bin Salman]] is the true power-holder of Saudi Arabia. He is by definition the head of the [[House of Saud]] as well. | ||

In March 2015, the king ordered the bombing of Yemen and military intervention against the Shia [[Houthis]] and forces loyal to former President [[Ali Abdullah Saleh]], who was deposed in the 2011 uprising. He first put together a coalition of ten Sunni Muslim countries. Code-named Operation Decisive Storm, this was the first time the Saudi Air Force had launched airstrikes against another country since the 1990–91 Gulf War. | In March 2015, the king ordered the bombing of Yemen and military intervention against the Shia [[Houthis]] and forces loyal to former President [[Ali Abdullah Saleh]], who was deposed in the 2011 uprising.
