Houthis just don't have means to do that. Iran is friendly with both them and Oman. Oman doesn't have a history of declaring war or threats over something, so they proclaimed their ultimate neutrality - and blocked access to it's airspace.
Official Yemen wasn't bombed. What was is a territory held by the Houthy junta. It's not better or worse than an official dictator. It's just incorrect to miss that distinction.
And I don't think they would be capable of anything military-wise after these strikes.
They just don't have any serious backing even from other islamic states, so I don't know why they even acted out for western allies can simply erase everything they have without any backfiring.
I feel like it's other states who ordered their leaders to act, while these leaders are completely safe.
