    With how much of a complete failure the US is being at stopping Yemen’s blockade, they’d have to be dumb as hell to try anything like that for Iran.

      I think it’s the other way around - the US is having a hard time suppressing the Houthis because there’s nothing in Yemen that’s worth blowing up other than the missile launchers themselves, which are mobile and easy to hide. Iran, on the other hand, has lots of valuable infrastructure.
