Houthi Weapons Stock Running Low as US Military Downs Drones and Missiles
The top U.S. Air Force commander for the Middle East stated that Houthi rebels in Yemen may be depleting their supplies of drone swarms and anti-ship ballistic missiles, leading to a slowdown in their attacks on ships. The U.S. has been conducting retaliatory strikes on the Iran-backed militia group, affecting their behavior and pace of operations. The challenge lies in assessing the extent of the depletion of Houthi weapons and the impact of potential Iranian resupply. The Houthis' attacks have disrupted shipping routes, prompting increased military presence in the region. Despite pressure from Iran, the Houthis are seen as more independent and less responsive to Iranian direction compared to other Tehran-backed militias.
