Why would they stop?

They can disrupt a massive amount of shipping with little effort and even limited success.

To get these people to stop would take a massive aerial bombing or missile campaign the cowards in Washington are not prepared to commence.

This is a war and the Houthis will have to face complete annihilation to decide to stop. They will have to be wiped off the face of the Earth to ever give up.

Here we have a ‘rebel group’ effectively closing a major choke point in world shipping with some weapons a very wealthy hobbyist could deploy. The fact that they would even dare to target a U.S. Navy warship shows how far we have fallen in the eyes of much of the world.

The Houthis will stop if Iran stops sending them goodies.

We have plenty of leverage on Iran if we want to use it like Trump or Reagan did.

No need to waste any bombs on any Iranian subordinate assholes. That’s why the mullahs have them as subordinates, they’re expendable.

Go put a blockade around Iran and crash their economy and support the Iranian people this time when they rebel against the mullahs. Maybe shoot up a couple of their offshore platforms just for fun.
