The Houthi rebels in Yemen pose a threat to maritime security in the Red Sea

The Houthi rebels, based in the western portion of Yemen, have demonstrated relatively sophisticated military capabilities, including missiles and drones. These capabilities are supplied and trained by Iran. While the presence of US and allied forces in the Red Sea has deterred some Houthi actions, there is still a risk of attacks on ships passing through the region, which could have significant consequences for maritime security.
