Persistent Challenge: U.S. Faces Ongoing Issues with Yemen's Houthi Movement
- Last month, Washington and Yemen's Iran-supported Houthi rebels reached a deal that brought an end to U.S. military airstrikes targeting the group in Yemen.
- The agreement came after nearly two months of U.S. airstrikes, during which the Houthis, expressing support for Palestinians amid Israel's Gaza offensive, had launched attacks on U.S. naval vessels.
- According to the agreement, the Houthis ceased their attacks on American naval and merchant ships near Yemen and have not carried out any further assaults since then.
- A senior U.S. military officer informed lawmakers that the Houthis are expected to remain a recurring challenge that the United States will need to address multiple times in the future.
- This ongoing threat suggests the U.S. faces future challenges with the Houthis despite the ceasefire, highlighting persistent regional instability.
