Houthis Just Joined the War: Iran's Proxy Opens Southern Front [View all]



This makes things a little more complex
So the Houthis have joined the war in the Middle East, which isn't great and adds some complexity to an already difficult situation. We look at the ways the Houthis may try to influence events and what that could mean for the larger war effort. Additional, a new piece by Nadav Eyal raises the suggestion that Iranian leadership may be living in a fantasy land, unaware of the damage inflicted to their military. If that's the case, we shouldn't expect them at the negotiating table anytime soon.
