Grynkewich says Houthi rebels in Yemen may be running through their supplies of drone swarms and anti-ship ballistic missiles and the pace of their attacks has slowed a bit. Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who heads U.S.
Grynkewich said it's difficult to know exactly how much the Houthis' weapons supplies have been eroded by the U.S. strikes, because officials didn't have a detailed intelligence assessment of their capabilities before the attacks began. He said the U.S. believes the Houthis had dozens of anti-ship ballistic missiles when they started, and they've launched dozens. So understanding how much Iran is able to restock the group is key.in the Gaza Strip. The ships they've targeted, however, have largely had little or no connection to Israel, the U.S. or other nations involved in the war.
U.S. officials have said they believe pressure from Iran was part of the reason for the pause. But Grynkewich said the Houthis are “not quite as responsive” to Iranian direction.
