"Assessing the Impact of Houthi Attacks on Yemen and Red Sea Shipping"
TL;DR Summary
The Houthi rebels in Yemen continue to defy powerful militaries by targeting international shipping and engaging in conflict with the US and UK. The group, representing a minority in Yemen, seized power in 2014 and has since withstood a coalition air campaign. Their recent attacks on Red Sea shipping have escalated tensions, leading to US and UK airstrikes. Despite facing resistance and protests, the Houthis remain resilient and are supplied with munitions by Iran. The situation in the southern Red Sea remains precarious, with no clear end in sight.
