  I have been following the "red sea crisis" pretty closely and I am of the opinion that Iran's ultimate goal is to draw the US into a costly conflict in Yemen and against other Iranian proxies, to, primarily, draw US military resources away from Israel.

 In Iran's 1979 Revolution, essentially, you had a U.S.-allied monarchy, the shah of Iran, that was replaced almost overnight with a viscerally anti-American theocracy, the Islamic Republic of Iran. And from 1979 to the present, the last 45 years, there's essentially been three pillars to Iran's grand strategy. And the first is to try to evict America from the Middle East. The second is to try to replace Israel with Palestine. And the third is to try to bring down the U.S.-led world order.
