Houthis still using Iranian components in missiles, expanding arsenal
Anti-ship, surface-to-air, and ballistic missiles are among these weapons, demonstrating that the Houthis now possess a range of advanced offensive capabilities.
Assessment
The Houthis' continued access to Iranian missile components signals that Tehran's supply lines remain intact despite international pressure. This arsenal expansion, including advanced anti-ship and ballistic missiles, directly threatens Red Sea shipping and Israeli security. The key question is whether naval interdiction efforts can disrupt this flow before the Houthis achieve greater strike precision.
