[HIGHLIGHTS] Washington seeks to intercept the supply of Iranian weapons to the Houthis

Washington seeks to intercept the supply of Iranian weapons to the Houthis. But this mission faces obstacles and challenges, according to officials.

The American efforts come as the Houthi group continues to target Israeli, British, and American ships in the Red Sea, in solidarity with the Gaza Strip. Although the Pentagon is intensifying its efforts to intercept these weapons, it is not expected that large American forces will be involved in this mission. On January 11, two US Marines went missing at sea while trying to board a suspected smuggling ship off the coast of Somalia.
