Disingenuous to claim that. Especially after Iran did the exact same thing in the Strait a few days before. The Saudis did not instigate any war at the behest of anyone. They've shut up and taken repeated Iranian hits without responding for a reason, surprisingly wisely and against their usual self. The decision to send the aircraft to Yemen in defiance to a stated embargo, legal or not, was the instigation. The Saudis reverting back to their foolishness, wholly unsurprisingly, responded by dropping bombs. The Houthis in their infinite wisdom then decided to escalate it exponentially. The Iraqi militias feeling left out, jumped in as well. Now that the genie is out, good luck to all the geniuses involved in this.
