For all the noise, warnings, and apocalyptic predictions, reality is proving something very different on the ground.
Even if the Houthis decide to launch everything they have tonight — and that possibility cannot be dismissed — one fact remains undeniable: the regime in Sana’a has been deeply deterred.
For two and a half weeks, despite capabilities that once seemed constantly in use, the Houthis have not launched even a single missile. This is not coincidence. It is not restraint born of goodwill. It is the direct result of sustained pressure and the targeted elimination of much of their leadership.
Deterrence is not measured by speeches or propaganda — it is measured by silence. And right now, the silence is deafening.
