Part is Russian info; they may yet send some weapons systems Houthi-ward.

But the missiles ... They're Iranian. The drones ... They're Iranian. Trainers on the ground? Funding? They're Iranian.

For 20 years I've been confused by the persistent effort on the part of many to paint the Iranian government in the best possible light possible, with brief time outs when it's simply untenable to do anything but limply cry out that they, too, are oppressors. Then, the moment passed, it's back to saying that really, they're oppressed by us ... or U.S.
