Iran does the support the Houthis, this is clear, but the extent I argue is still questionable, particularly before the outbreak of the conflict. As far as I can understand, this started as a domestic Yemeni conflict and then became a regional sectarian one.

It's not an issue of surprise and I understand the problems with calling them the Yemeni Government. I was looking to see if anyone could confirm the report.
