The problem is Iran. Iran can stop the Houthis from doing this if they wished. Oil is the life blood of Iran. Oil is money, it takes money to support and arm the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbolla etc. Oil infrastructure is easy to destroy. It burns hot and long. I would suggest we take out a the pumping stations that supply Kharg Island where most of Iran's oil is exported from. Irans oil export would grind to a stop. It would take months to repair the damage. Little life would be lost. Tell them Kharg Island could be next. If they continue to support the Houthis take out Kharg Island. There are about 50 huge oil storage tanks there. One raid and it is all fire, melted steel and death. It would take years to repair. Iran would collapse economically.

I am puzzled why Israel did not do this when Iran attacked them. I suspect it was Biden that put pressure on Israel to not do this.

Ukraine may hit Kharg Island in response to Iran supplying all those Shahid Drones to Russia. Game on at that point.
