Iran's 'new Hezbollah:' How powerful are the Houthis now?

An article discusses the growing influence of the Houthi rebels in Yemen, comparing them to Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of Iran's 'axis of resistance.'

The article highlights Iran's support for the Houthis and their increasing role in challenging Western and Gulf powers, particularly through control of strategic areas like the Red Sea. It also mentions the symbolic significance of Iran's domestic support for the Houthis, drawing parallels to past support for Hezbollah.
