You are right. They are part of a much larger proxy war with many fronts that involves a lot of different parties at this point. It's all a bit murky who is playing who and why but clearly the Iranians are supplying the Houthi's; just like they've been supplying the Palestinians. Then the US is supplying the Saudi's who have been fighting a very ugly conflict in Yemen for a very long time. The US is also supplying the Israeli's who are fighting the Palestinians. and then you have the Russians active in Syria with a clear interest in distracting the US from the war in the Ukraine and reducing the level of support they provide to Ukraine. Russia of course is also being supplied by the Iranians. And then you have the Chinese lurking in the background. It's very complicated. The real question is who is going to do anything about this, if any. Attacking some Houthi targets is just fighting the symptoms here. A direct attack on Iran seems much less likely and appealing. It would turn the proxy war into a real war. It seems the Iranians are quite successful at discouraging that sort of response.
