Iran’s regional proxies hold back from all-out war with US and Israel
AI Summary
In response to the US-Israeli offensive against Tehran, Iranian-backed militias in the Middle East, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Shia militias in Iraq, have launched attacks against Israel, the US, and their allies. However, these groups have so far refrained from a full-scale confrontation. Analysts suggest this restraint may indicate that Tehran views these forces as a strategic reserve or that Iranian command and control systems are weakening. Notably, the Yemen-based Houthis have not yet rejoined hostilities. The imminent passage of a US aircraft carrier battle group through the Bab el-Mandeb strait will be a key test of Houthi intentions, given their arsenal of missiles and other weaponry. Despite their support for Iran, the Houthis may decide against active involvement.
