Defining Success Too Narrowly May Repeat Past Failures
As the US engages in diplomacy with Iran, there is a risk of defining success too narrowly, particularly regarding the threat posed by Iran’s proxies, such as the Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis have demonstrated their ability to impose costs far beyond their borders, directly targeting US national security interests and causing significant economic disruption. According to data from the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, the group has launched numerous missiles and drones at Israeli territory and commercial vessels, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to address this threat.
