What’s partially amusing is that the STC are supposedly the UAE backed allies of the Saudi backed government they just overthrew.
Now, the Iranian backed Houthies can mop up.
The Houthi rebels want to reset up North Yemen, a Zayidi Muslim state. Zayidis are Shia but they are far closer to Sunnis than the Twelver Shia in Iran. Kinda like 1890s Anglo Catholics between Catholics and Baptists analogically
