War sucks, but it is not like Saudi Arabia had any choice in this one. The Iranians goal was to use the Houthi rebels to attack Saudi Arabia. Iran is the main culprit here despite my distaste for Saudi Arabia and the past ties of their wealthy elite (members of the House of Saud) with terror groups.

Yep, Houthis and Lebanese Hezbollah are canon fodder for Iranian goals
In the past Lebanese and what not united amongst all faiths against imperial invasions like the Ottomans but lately many are fooled by Iranian promises of peace keeping

The Houthi are not rebels. They are the Zaidi sect who are the majority in north Yemen. When the previous dictator was ousted, they wanted to go back to having their own state (remember North and SOuth Yemen were separate states until 1990)
But the Sauds attacked.
The Zaidis are different theologically from the 12er Shia Iranis
If the AlSauds hadn't attacked there would be no Iranian influence.
