The Houthis are not Iran's proxies -- they are Zayidi Shia, a sub-sect of Shia that are closer to the Sunni Hanafi school than they are to the 12er Shia (Iran-Iraq)
They were the leading members of the former North Yemen
when the Saudis tried to take over Yemen, they wanted their man Hadi to win and they also were spreading Wahabbism -- Islamic state and Al Qaeda are active in SOUTH Yemen
The Sauds are NOT Moderate - they are Wahabbis (the Al Saud and Al-Wahhab family intermarried in the 1800s) and have been instrumental in creating the Islamic state, boko haram, al qaeda, Taliban, Lashkar e toiba, Al Shaba, Abu sayyaff and other Salafi/Wahabbi terrorist groups around the world. They are the cause of 9/11, Bataclan, Beslan, Mumbai 2008, London, etc. They must go
If the Houthis take over Sanaa they will then want only North Yemen
South yemen will be a mix of other states.
No, the Iranis won't put missiles in North Yemen - they don't have the means to send arms that far away and the north Yemenis won't allow them

(Obama's dislike of Assad is not based on his brutality but that he isn't a jihadi Moslem)
