“ They are fighting a proxy war for Iran. ”
People always think that people who are fighting on their home soil are fighting a proxy war for someone else but have no goals themselves . From what I have read they want to get rid of Saudi Arabia and Iran is helping them. But their main motivation is not Iran. It was the same in the Vietnam war. North Vietnam was supported by China and Russia but their main motivation was to get colonial powers out of the country.

If not for Iran's support, the civil war in Yemen and further conflict with Saudi Arabia could not have happened. Iran provided their support because the Houthis are accomplishing Iran's goals. So this is Iran's war fought using someone else's sons.
