Iran told Houthi’s not to capture the capital Saana way back when saying it was escalation and try to “negotiate” with your opponents….Houthi’s ignored Iran and seized the capital
iran told Houthi’s not to march south on Aden, and Houthi’s ignored Iran and nearly pushed the Saudi Backed Baboons into the sea.
Sure, Iran might supply weaponry and knowledge. But in the field of strategy, Iran’s military forces are filled with old boomer generals who are scared of escalation and seizing the initiative.
Houthi top commanders are lions, Iranian top commanders are sloths who think they are foxes. These are not the same thing.
