U.S.-led Airstrikes Damage Houthi Capabilities, but Threat Remains

Despite significant damage to their infrastructure, the Iran-backed Houthi militia retains substantial offensive capability and vows to continue attacks.

• U.S.-led airstrikes on Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen have damaged or destroyed about 90% of the targets, but the group retains about three-quarters of its ability to fire missiles and drones at ships in the Red Sea.
• President Biden has stated that a message has been 'privately delivered' to Iran over its backing of the Houthis.
• The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, has been launching attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
• The Biden administration's decision to launch airstrikes represents a shift in strategy, as it previously resisted calls to act against the Houthi militants.
• The Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks, despite the retaliatory strikes by U.S. and British forces.
