  • Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have gone on for months.
  • The US intelligence chief said the threat is likely to remain active for a while.
  • This is partly because the Houthis continue to make weaponry and receive help from Iran, she said.

For months, the Houthis have relentlessly fired missiles and drones at merchant and Western naval vessels in key Middle Eastern waterways.
