The American magazine Foreign Policy said that the United States of America needs a new strategy that focuses on the sources of the Houthis’ growing power and not just on its symptoms that appear in the Red Sea, stressing that “the United States’ mission to deter the Houthis and weaken them has not succeeded.”

The magazine published an analysis prepared by Beth Sanner, former deputy director of national intelligence in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and Jennifer Kavanagh, director of military analysis and senior fellow for defense priorities.

The analysis said that the next US administration will need to stifle the Houthis’ military supplies and income, which they use to finance local weapons production and other projects.

He added, "The United States and Israel must coordinate any further military strikes against the Houthis' capabilities, and military action should be precisely targeted to disrupt Houthi operations to the maximum extent, without harming civilians," indicating that it is better to carry out secret operations, rather than For example, against Iranian intelligence ships and senior Houthi leaders and their financiers.

He also stressed the need for efforts to also work to support Yemeni groups, especially the internationally recognized government, which opposes the Houthis, adding: "It is possible to help regional countries build their defenses to prevent the Houthis from seizing oil and gas fields in Yemen."
