IR no longer has the capacity to do that, and what capacity they still have is dwindling rapidly.
The Houthis are laying very low right now... their ability to project power beyond the city limits of Sanaa is severely curtailed now that their IR masters are cowering in their bunkers.
Hint: proxy terrorist groups do not have the means to buy or build their own ASMCs.
If the Houthis use up what they may still have, then they have nothing left for a rainy day, and no prospect of getting more.
