I'm afraid it really is that simple. The various big players in the Middle East have been doing it for decades. Iran also provides support for Hamas, which is why the Houthis are involved so directly.
The details are of course incredibly complicated, but the basic observation that weapons and money flow out of Tehran is straightforward.
- briffle 3y agotaking out a drone with an expensive rocket is a bad choice, but taking out the drone launching crew and site with a rocket (or even better, a good size naval canon) seems like a much more cost effective choice. Its easy to launch things when nobody is shooting back at you.
- mulmen 3y agoDo these drones need significant infrastructure to launch? Seems like whack-a-mole. What do you do when they launch drones from school athletic fields? Or on top of hospitals?
