Hahahah, you're something else buddy. No, obviously the goal of "Operation Prosperity Guardian" was to "end the blockade and counter threats by Houthi forces against international maritime commerce in the region." [1] Ships could happily sail around the entire African continent without a multi billion dollar military operation and invasion. "The region", the Red Sea, is an area you have to purposefully seek out and sail into during this voyage.
Obviously there's been less strikes, because the blockade has been completely successful, meaning Israel linked ships aren't even trying. What was probably tens of billions dollars wasted trying to stop it has been a complete failure and waste of money, like usual.

- JumpCrisscross 3y agoThe Houthis’ effects on global shipping markets, specifically prices, has ended. Their effect on oil prices has ended. Their technical capability to target ships has degraded to the point that they’re potting Iran’s allies all while their firing rate is markedly down. They were a front-page nuisance, now they’re another regional mischief. Some won’t be happy with anything short of America removing the Houthis from power entirely, but fortunately there are adults in the room who know when to call a win.
- somenameforme 3y agoLol, no it hasn't. Shipping rates are about twice what they were before the blockade started. [1] The actual cost for Israel linked ships is of course far higher - that table just gives you an average global shipping price index, which the Israeli linked ships alone have sent skyrocketing. Even oil is indeed up, though it was never a motive to begin with. You are literally just making up random things to try to convince yourself of what you want to believe, to the point I can't even tell if you're being serious.
