How will the Houthis' involvement shape the war? | Inside Story

It marks a significant escalation. The Iran-aligned group is based in Yemen. And it's feared they could attack shipping in the Red Sea -- as they have done before. That would further disrupt global trade -- already affected by Iran's blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. So, will Israel and the US retaliate? And if so, how?
