Middle East war: Why haven't the Houthis, Iran's allies in Yemen, stepped into the war?

US-Israel Iran war: Iran's allies in Lebanon and Iraq have joined the regional conflict. Yemen's Houthi rebels, however, remain on the sidelines. Experts suggest this is due to their domestic focus and differing religious ties to Iran. The Houthis possess significant missile and drone capabilities. They previously attacked shipping in the Red Sea in support of Palestinians.
