AI: For nearly two years since the start of the war in Yemen, the Houthis have continued their attacks on shipping, leading to restrictions on shipping in the Red Sea. In response, a coalition of countries led by the US and UK launched airstrikes against Houthi targets to stop their attacks. However, these strikes failed to stop the Houthis, who continued their attacks on ships using missiles and drones. As the Houthis escalated their attacks on shipping, support for the Houthis among the Yemeni population increased and they came to be seen as part of Iran’s so-called “Axis of Resistance” made up of Hamas, Hezbollah and other militias in Iraq and Syria. Ultimately, the Houthis are unlikely to be stopped by attacks, and their attacks will continue until the war in Gaza ends.
