Interesting analysis - Does this mean Iran essentially “won”.

Essentially Iran has achieved a tactical success. The Shi’ite tribesmen have displaced the Saudi backed local Sunnis. The Saudis are not capable of a successful ground operation. Yemen is dirt poor and imports most of its food. Soon there will be well publicized displays of human misery (blamed on the bombing). Iran will run the blockade with ships loaded initially with food and humanitarian supplies and attempt to consolidate their gain. Very bad and destabilizing loss for the Saudi royals. Will create much grumbling within Sunni circles.
