Initial American strikes have already eroded Houthi military capabilities while the Houthi leadership structure suffers from inherent weaknesses. Evidence suggests high success prospects for these harsh military strikes. Washington commands an advanced arsenal, including precision missiles, drones, strategic bombers, and superior intelligence systems. These assets enable pinpoint target identification. Moreover, Trump's firm political will enhances these capabilities. The US is succeeding in weakening the Houthis through targeted strikes on weapons depots, missile platforms, drone launch sites, and command centers. The Houthi leadership structure's weaknesses and its dependence on Iranian support further contribute to their vulnerability. Trump's military approach reflects a realistic handling of regional threats.
