The verdict
Open Resolves by 15 Sep 26 — graded at the weekly Reckoning against the criteria above, and recorded here.
As logged at issue
Likely the Houthis carry out at least one further attack on a vessel trading with Saudi Arabia within 21 days of the August 25 Yanbu strike, given their stated intent to widen the campaign to foreign-flagged shipping and a demonstrated pattern of repeat strikes on Yanbu-area targets this month. A lull with no further claimed strikes in the window would be the signal this has stalled.
