Iran has acted as a mediator in secret negotiations between Russia and Yemeni Houthis regarding the transfer of anti-ship missiles to the group. Currently, the Houthis are targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea, according to Reuters.
Seven sources have stated that Russia has not yet decided to transfer Yakhont missiles (also known as P-800 Onyx). According to experts, these missiles would allow the militant group to more accurately strike commercial vessels in the Red Sea and increase the threat to those protecting them, such as US and European naval ships.
The Wall Street Journal reported in July that Russia was considering sending the missiles. Iran's role as a mediator had not been previously disclosed.

Proxy wars are fun!
The US would like to weaken Russia, but a direct war with Russia carries risks — so we’ll have Ukraine fight the war for us!
Hey! Russia can play that game too! They’d like to weaken the US, but a direct war with the US carries risks — so they’ll make sure the Houthis can sink our ships!
It didn’t have to be this way.

The game of TAT can be fun (when playing with OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY) but becomes less fun when it morphs into TIT for TAT.
