• The Houthi rebels have signaled they are limiting attacks to only Israeli-affiliated ships while maintaining the option to resume aggression against the U.S. and U.K., which suggests a strategic decision amid ongoing conflict in the region.
• The ceasefire in Gaza has provided an opportunity for the Houthis to adjust their military strategy and claims of sanctions on other vessels, reflecting their alignment with Iranian-backed interests against Israel.
• As the tempo of Houthi attacks has slowed, the U.S. airstrike campaign appears to be effective, yet there is concern over the potential for increased aggression if the Houthis feel threatened, especially with a change in U.S. leadership.
