The Telegraph: The Houthis have a major advantage in battle for the Red Sea
The battle for freedom of navigation in the Red Sea is ongoing, with the Iran-backed Houthis having the advantage. The coalition trying to restore freedom of navigation is complex, with multiple players on the field. The situation is similar to previous operations against piracy, but more complicated due to the presence of ballistic missiles. The French navy's involvement has been erratic, while the Saudis have been reluctant to intervene due to political reasons. In contrast, shipping exports in the Black Sea have been restored to near pre-invasion levels.

The situation is likely to continue for a while, leading to increasing prices and the potential for escalation.
