The Houthi Threat Presents an Opportunity for American Statecraft
Washington can make the case for American indispensability.
The Houthis are the strongest remaining member of Iran’s Axis of Resistance, and they are currently exerting significant pressure on America’s Saudi and Emirati allies. Further, by harassing trade through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait they can exert pressure on global shipping, thus compounding the effects of Iran’s attempts to control the neighboring Strait of Hormuz. Seth Cropsey describes Saudi Arabia’s missteps in handling the Houthis, and argues that the current situation creates favorable conditions for furthering American aims.
