The EU has had ships in the Red Sea for this reason for a year already, they’re just keeping to shooting down missiles and drones instead of flinging missiles into Yemen
Depends on what you count as “under control” I guess? No ships have been captured or sunk since last June, so in that regard yes. On the other hand, civilian ships were still getting hit by things a couple of times a month.
Either way, though, the EU has the capacity to shoot into Yemen and isn’t doing so. I would argue that regardless of ethics, it’s not actually a helpful thing to do. The Saudis bombed Yemen for about a decade, and if that had achieved anything then we wouldn’t be in the current situation.

So we pretty much had the situation under control?

Yeah, because other than the US we don’t make a sport out of bombing Yemen
