with arms, intelligence, and military coordination from the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Are people witnessing what's happening in Iran now? This war is a proxy war led by Iran to increase their influence in the region.

There is much to be said about Saudi Arabia as an anti-liberal state and they deserve just criticism over their military excesses in Yemen, but this measure is reductivist.
