Houthi Red Sea Blockade

Bad day for the Houthi it seems, Houthi PM apparently killed by the Israel strike. Since he is only the PM of a Rebel government, he does not count as a head of state. Mind you it might be useful to appear to be dead and let your enemies think that you are.

Stress of Houthi Combat Was a Key Factor in Series of Costly Navy Mishaps, Investigations Show​


New investigative reports into a series of high-profile and costly Navy mishaps during a U.S.-led campaign against Yemen's Houthi rebels reveal that the most intense running sea battle that the military service has faced since World War II took a toll on ships and personnel.

The four reports released Thursday cover a “friendly fire” incident in December 2024 that saw the cruiser USS Gettysburg shoot at two fighter jets from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, downing one, as well as the Truman’s collision with a merchant vessel and the loss of two more multimillion-dollar jets from the carrier to mishaps earlier this year.

Taken together, the reports paint a picture of an aircraft carrier that was not only beset by regular missile attacks that stressed the crew but also other operational demands that put pressure on top leaders to the point that the ship’s captain and navigator were extremely sleep-deprived. That was just halfway through an eight-month deployment originally slated to last six months.

One report also found that, in some parts of the ship, the intense combat operations “led to a numbness among the crew” and some sailors “lost sight of the purpose of their role to the mission.”

How many cruise missiles do we have and how many drones do they have? How many can be produced per month?

What does Lloyds of London have to say on the matter?
 
The Houthi survive on aid and having a functioning port and airports, sadly the only way to defeat them is to either take the port away from them and destroy the airports or destroy the airports and port and blockade them.

....

We need to be able to flood the zone.
 
Attack the Houthi controlled region with drones run by KSA (who likley will hire people to do so) Make their lives miserable, at the same time, offer the various tribes bribes to stop supporting the Houthi's.

I think his predictions have come to pass:

“Foreign policy is in danger of turning into a subdivision of domestic politics instead of an exercise in shaping the future.”
