The point in those articles was that Iran was being watched by massive amount of US surveillance. Iran has all the eyes on it - if it was Iran that is embarrassing to US capabilities. Russia has been able to repel these swarm drone attacks in Syria. People dismissing Yemen as the attacker are underestimating them.

The yemeni had to get the equipment from somewhere. I seriously doing they engineered the kind of weapons required for this attack on this own. These aren't drones you buy at Best buy. This is long range guided equipment capable of high speed flight at very high altitudes.
Once again the Yemeni are already getting weapons from Iran already. The most likely source for weapons like this is Iran. Even in the off chance it wasn't, the Houtis get so much support and weapons from Iran, they wouldn't be in the position for this attack without them.
Your argument about it being impossible to attack from Iran is clearly flawed, as there are multiple sources pointing out the weaknesses to drones on the SA air defence. Your point about Syria and cluster drone attacks only weakens your argument. As Israel has been able to successfully use drones in Syria. What this shows is that primitive drone attacks are easy to defend against, but advanced drone attacks, like the kind Iran and Israel have, are much harder to defend against.
