We're not. We've been attacking the terrorists directly - we've been firing live war shots at the Houthis in Yemen for months also. Again, the issue isn't whether there will be proxy fighting. The issue is whether the US is willing to change the fighting from a proxy conflict to a direct one.

We've been doing classical Biden Just The Tip. Small nibbles when a CHOMP is necessary.
BTW, how do the missiles get to the Houthis?

They would certainly ignore a "signal" or "message" that was even less direct than a threat.

We can agree to disagree. The Iranians understand what messing with the US Navy means, going back to the 1980s.
