The standoff between American forces and Houthi rebels backed by Iran risks something President Trump promised to stamp out: endless war, according to a report published by Axios website
Axios report added that despite the renewed campaign by Trump administration which kicked off mid-March and hasn't stopped since, the Houthis continue, quoting Mohammad Al-Basha of the advisory Basha Report who told Axios, "to amplify reports of civilian casualties, using them as a rallying cry to boost recruitment and bolster domestic support,"
Al-Basha added” Without "sustained ground operations to reclaim territory from Houthi control, the militant group "will eventually be able to recover from their current losses — replenishing their ranks, regrouping, and rebuilding their capabilities."
Axios report mentioned that there are now two U.S. aircraft carriers, the Harry S. Truman and the Carl Vinson, operating in the CENTCOM region, but the rebels have also choked the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with missiles and explosive unmanned vehicles.
The report cited Bill LaPlante, then the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer, who told Axios in November the Houthi arsenal was growing increasingly sophisticated.
