The Houthi missile attack on Israel on Sunday was an important move for the Iranian regime.
The attack was part of Iran’s overall war against Israel in the region, using its proxies, and not simply in a Houthi-centric context. The group claimed to use a “hypersonic” missile, a claim that dovetails with Iran’s claims of developing a hypersonic missile last year. This is very much part of the Iranian multi-front war plan against Israel, a war launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
