Contrary to circulating rumours of a Houthi withdrawal from Bab al-Mandab approcahes, air strikes continue to target Houthi positions & reinforcements across the theatre.

Is Iran preparing for a two-strait war?
Hormuz is under pressure. Bab al-Mandab is held as a conditional second front, potentially linking the US–Iran confrontation with renewed Houthi cross-border escalation into a system-wide regional crisis👇

29] As @KatieZimmerman and Kenneth Pollack recently argued in a @WSJ piece, the growing number of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea demonstrate they are now a strategic threat to America, its allies and the global economy. We must address them as such.”

28] Policy discussions prior to the strike were binary - strike or don’t - demonstrating a problematic disconnect between short-term objectives and long-term stability interests. The answers lies in rethinking what kind of Yemen is good for regional security, stability & peace.

27] Western powers once thought the threat is not expandable; they could work with the growing strength of a hardeline Iran-backed regime that seized power in Sanaa, developed a repressive de facto police authority that does not deliver services & threatened neighbours. Surprise!

26] Much of the attention on Yemen focused on quick fixes, the humanitarian crisis & “ending the conflict’ regardless of who emerged dominant & without a clear vision of the Yemen the world wants to see. This has all blown up at a globally disruptive level. It is a reality check!

25] Overall, the west’s military resolve & strategic thinking are facing a credible test. If they continue to address the symptoms of Houthi attacks & view them as events rather than strategic developments that could reoccur, they are doomed to fail by choice for many years.

23] Seventh, there is a dire need to strengthen Yemeni Coast Guard capabilities, as well as those of Red Sea littoral states, including through provision of vessels, financing, training, information & technology to support home-grown security measures, a critical long-term angle.

22] Sixth, Oman and Saudi Arabia are likely to play a facilitation role in back-channel talks to de-escalate the situation, passing messages back and fourth; however, these efforts are likely short-termed & tactical, requiring a broader multi-stakeholder international strategy.

21] Fifth, the west and Red Sea littoral states are likely to deepen robust intelligence sharing mechanisms on maritime security, goods flowing into Yemen, Houthi capabilities and Iran’s support, which requires a recalibration in western strategy & trust rebuilding in the region.

20] Fourth, shipping & energy companies will have to adopt high-risk mitigation strategies, incurring higher costs. If Houthi attacks continued, war premium insurance & the cost/time of shipping would likely remain high in the short-term, given use of the Cape of the Good Hope.

19] Third, given that Yemen is under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and the Houthis are particularly under arms embargo, tighter enforcement of arms transfer will be applied on the Houthis, which will require political will & long-term commitment, consistent with UNSCR 2216.

18] This means that Yemeni territorial waters will be subject to greater scrutiny, that UNVIM is unlikely to disappear soon, and that war premium insurance for shipping headed to Yemen will hike the prices of goods, including food & medic, where a humanitarian crisis is dire.

15] Externally, there are several implications. First, to save their face & demonstrate capability, the Houthis are highly likely to continue maritime attacks undeterred, adopt more complex MOs given their use of mobile missile/drone launchers & expand the scope of their targets

14] Seventh, the Houthis would exploit this attack to rally public support around the flag by framing the government & its different wings as “pro-Israel” & “pro-American” to escalate internally, likely in Hodeida, Taiz, Marib, Shabwa & Dhale’a as soon as the opportunity allows.

13] Sixth, Yemen, as a result of unceasing Houthi adventurism at Iran’s behest, is likely to experience higher risk profiling, deeper economic and humanitarian crises, absent a multi-dimensional strategy that paves the way to thwart such a repressive transitional rebel regime.
