I'd say the mullahs are a bit worse. I think the fact that Hezbollah and the Houthis stayed out of it was the deciding factor in Iran's decision. Iranians are Persians, not Arabs, and they'd rather Arabs did the fighting and dying for them. When it became clea rthey were on their own, they really had no choice.
it'll be interesting to see how Antifa and all those other protestors react to this.
