U.S. attempts to stop arms smuggling to Yemen with limited resources

The initiative seeks to map seafaring routes used by Tehran and stop the arms shipments while in transit, an acknowledgment that the Houthis are likely to pose a significant security challenge for the foreseeable future.
It is part of a broader strategy that also includes sanctions and diplomatic pressure, but faces constraint as essential military resources are in short supply.
