The Saudis hoped that it would be a quick invasion but deeper into the land of the Houthis it showed that a quick victory for the coalition would not be the case. Under President Obama the US did support but not help the Arab states, under President Trump the US became more involved. While the ties between the Houthis and Iran was weak at the start of the invasion it became very strong as the war went on, and as Iran is the regional rival of Saudi-Arabia stopping the conflict would mean an increase of power for Iran therefore the Saudis stay involved even though it is very costly. The group of nations is now divided with the Saudis bombing in the north of Yemen and the United Arab Emirates supporting group in the south of Yemen. As of 2023 peace talks between the Saudis and Houthis are happening and making progress.
