Iran cannot establish a beachhead on KSA or UAE. Between the two, UAE is probably the most competent military as their troops are relatively experienced versus KSA.
To establish a beachhead you need overwhelming firepower to “push” the enemy further back to allow the Navy a chance to reach the shore.
So your numbers are nothing but theoretical and on paper. In reality a hovercraft is relatively defenseless against anti ship missiles.
Second establishing beachhead is one thing. Maintaining and resupplying is another thing entirely.
For a better example, look at Yemen where US backed forces established a beachhead in Aden in order to reverse Houthi gains which had basically pushed pro Saudi government into the water.
So the US actually intervened in the war in Yemen and pushed the Houthis from seizing Aden?
