The US said it would consider revoking its recent designation of Yemen’s Houthis as terrorists if the Iran-backed militants cease their shipping attacks in and around the Red Sea.

In case y’all wondering how the whole operation Prosperity Guardian is going.

    The fact that the US is pissed off to the point of considering this means it’s working.

    And why wouldn’t it? It’s directly stopping ships from supplying israel, and israel gets most of its imports from ships.

      You’re half right, in that it prevents shipments to the Red Sea port of Eilat. The problem is that that is not where most of Israel’s cargo flows through. Most of its cargo is brought in through ports along the Mediterranean Sea in the north. If that’s the aim, they’re failing.
