You would think they would know that, given that every time the “Houthis” have been mentioned in the Western press, it has been with the prefix “Iranian-backed.” It’s the same as the fact that “Hamas-run” must always precede “Gaza Health Ministry.” But every Western newspaper uses the same exact words and phrases over and over again while neglecting to use them wrt other subjects even when applicable by pure chance! And it is chance to the second power that this all serves the interest of influencing the public to support US imperialism.
