The Middle East: America has failed to eliminate the “Houthis” threats in the Red Sea

The American newspaper, The Middle East, stated that the US faces a strategic crossroads in the Red Sea today after failing to stop the threats from the Sana’a forces, whom it described as the “Houthis.”

Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The newspaper pointed out that “the Trump administration confronted the Houthi threat decisively through military operations that lasted from March 15 to May 6, but it was unable to eliminate this threat.”

The newspaper revealed the cost of every American munition compared to the Houthis’ low-tech but high-impact arsenal. It proposed a multi-dimensional strategic plan to neutralize the Houthi threat in the Red Sea, including military deterrence, regional alliances, and diplomatic pressure, with a focus on protecting international navigation and enhancing regional stability.

The newspaper confirmed that the Red Sea is a vital corridor for the interests of the US and the broader international system, as it forms a strategic link between Europe, Asia, and Africa, with approximately 15% of global trade passing through the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait.

It clarified that with every ship the Houthis attack, every insurance premium that rises, and every trade route that is diverted, the actors gain influence at the expense of the US.
