My guess is houthis are a joint cia/mossad asset , explains their tenacious nature that survived so many bombings also explains kid gloves approach by Biden admin towards the houthis , in turn houthis are least concerned over attacking Israel.
Houthis are indulging in good old fashioned jizia or tribute thru threats of piracy to fill their coffers . Nothing more or less. If the rate of attacks per week has come down , pls rest assured shipping cos have paid them extortion money or tribute or jizia.

After qasim sulemani was killed, the threat level from Iran towards us forces was considerably reduced , some say elements of Iranian regime were complecent in that attack.

The recent assassination (alleged) of Abdul Reza shehlai responsible for arming houthis in Syria may too have contributed towards houthis having a rethink, and yes there was lot of talk about houthis and shipping lines negotiating.

Houthis want to run the nation, US UK precision strikes and naval action by countries including India have reduced their drone missile stock and replenishment routes.

. US ships didn't stop houthi attack on Russian Chinese linked ships (obviously Chinese and Russian support houthis).
. The killing (allegedly ) of Iranian leaders involved in arming houthis in Syria is a warning to houthis to mend their way.
. There is an international sea blockade to check houthi smuggling of weapons.

The moment US squezes khat supply to Yemen ,

There will be internal turmoil in Yemen and the general population irrespective of tribe / sectarian divide will overwhelmingly rise up against the houthis.

Dabbling in drug warfare is not new to the US.

Houthis better take the olive branch or else US will make sure less and less khat will be available for chewing in Yemen.

"With the American and British admission of their inability to stop our attacks, they expressed their admiration for the advanced military capabilities."

"Yemen’s Houthi militia has issued a new 100-riyal coin for the first time in nearly a decade, a move that sparked the ire of the Aden-based central bank."



"Banks in Yemen ordered to move headquarters from Houthi-controlled capital"

Houthis look forward to their masters in the US administration - the leli and green democrats in biden administration .

What houthis want to achieve is upperhand over their rivals in Yemeni civil war, they want international recognition over their rivals and want to squeeze revenue to the legitimate gov of Yemen.

By cloaking their attacks as a fight against Israel ,the houthis are playing to the gallery of leli and green democrats.

Leli and green democrats have shown their praise to houthis by holding of attack on them, only when UK unilaterally attacked ansaralla did US unwillingly join the campaign.

Also American lelis and greens have ensured that ansaralla is not sanctioned as FTO but with the far less severe designation of 'specially designated global terrorist'.

The assassination of houthi leaders from irgc would have crippled them but instead Israel had to take the initiative with US publically distancing itself from the action.
