The Houthis are climbing Iran's "axis of resistance" rankings

Deutsche Welle reports that after Houthi victories in Yemen, the group's importance in the US-Iran war has grown. In Iran's so-called "axis of resistance," Lebanon's Hezbollah had long been considered the most significant member; the Houthis, DW says, are now rising toward the top of that hierarchy. The shift is a repositioning of standing within an alliance rather than a formal transfer of command — the kind of change that matters most when the question is which partner can actually do something for Tehran, and which one is being asked to.
