US naval forces in the Middle East have been involved in shooting down malign threats for months. The cost of munition expenditure during this time is approaching $1 billion, the Navy secretary said. AdvertisementThe US Navy has fired nearly $1 billion in missiles to counter threats from Iran and its proxy forces over the past six months, the sea service's top civilian official revealed on Tuesday. USS Dwight D. Eisenhower conducts flight operations in response to the Houthis in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's Red Sea operations, however, have raised questions about sustainability, as the Houthis show no sign of letting up their attacks.

☆ The Houthis are still trying to attack ships, but most of the time, they can't get their missiles in the air before the US blows them up

US forces have been carrying out a handful of preemptive strikes against the rebels lately. This marked the Houthis' first confirmed missile launch in nearly a week, although it's not for a lack of trying. On Jan. 18, the Houthi rebels fired two anti-ship ballistic missiles at a US-owned and Greek-operated tanker. The military asserted in all four cases that it destroyed the Houthi missiles in "self-defense" and its actions make international waters off the coast of Yemen safer to transit. How much, exactly, is unclear, although Pentagon officials estimate the rebels maintain a majority of their ability to launch missiles and drones at ships, per The New York Times.
