Houthis are winning their war in the Red Sea

The latest missile attack by the Houthis in Yemen killed three people and sunk a commercial ship in the Red Sea. So now the Houthis are getting away with murder as well as massive disruption of shipping. No matter what the US and coalition military forces throw at them by way of retaliatory strikes on their missile depots and other logistics facilities, the Houthis don't seem to care and it certainly doesn't stop them from carrying on firing cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and drones at every passing ship heading for Israel. By contrast, the hefty strikes carried out by the US against Iran-backed militia in Iraq and Syria following the killing of three soldiers at a base in Jordan have done the trick. After the US killed one of the top leaders of the Iran-funded Kataib Hezbollah with a drone strike in Iraq, Tehran got the message and told their proxy killers to stop attacking US troops in the region. That was more than a month ago. But it seems Tehran is very happy to encourage the Houthis to persist with their attacks on shipping in the Red sea, or at least the ayatollahs are not telling them to hold fire. It's strange but I suspect unless the US carries out a really big strike on the Houthis, or even targets someone very senior from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force which arms and funds both the Houthis and Kataib Hezbollah, the Yemen-based militia will just keep going with their almost daily attacks until Israeli troops leave Gaza which looks like never happening.
