My comments apply to every State engaging in proxy wars, especially when they’re just across the border.

Pakistan itself is a glaring example of the negative blowback (proxies in Afghanistan), but THIS conversation is about the Saudis and Yemen.

Where did you read that?

My understanding of the Iranian relationship with the Houthis is that they are far from Iranian proxies (in terms of decision making). Iran has provided material and training support, but the Houthis have always been in charge of what they do and when they do it, much like the Afghan Taliban accepting support from Pakistan, but refusing to accept Pakistani diktat.

Reducing the analysis of this conflict to ‘Iranian proxies vs Saudi proxies’ limits actual understanding of the issues that led to the conflict and therefore limits the ability resolve the conflict, outside of continuing military operations.

Houthi leader Major General Abed Mohammed al-Thawr on a live TV claiming Iranians and Houthis are running a Joint military operation room. Claim is made in first 15 seconds of the video

National Shield Forces impose their control over the strategic Al-Tabab overlooking Mansoura, amid a mass flight of the Houthi militia in the extensive military operation launched to liberate the Al-Waz'iyah District in Taiz, as part of the "Dawn of Yemen" operations.

Lots of negativity towards Pakistan is unjustified

Cope harder from some very seethe IRGC bots on here.

 

[KingQamaR]

It’s simple guys , Wait , hasn’t happened before? One side foolishly Houthis massively expands in Yemen only to be beaten back when their logistics failed.

 

[KingQamaR]

Saudis can afford to continually send drones and Air power to monitor and harass Houthis 24/7. A military blunder by Houthi military planners.

 

[Watandar]

Lots of claims from both sides, we will know in a few days the truth.

 

[Watandar]

Good point.
