The International Crisis Group published on 21 March 2025 an analysis titled "Calming the Red Sea's Turbulent Waters."
The lengthy study concluded: "Now that the ceasefire has collapsed, renewed salvos between the U.S. and the Houthis, as well as the Houthis and Israel, amid rising tensions between Western states and Iran, and the potential for a fresh upsurge in fighting in Yemen have cast a darkening pall over the region. Lasting stability in the Red Sea will depend on steering these conflicts toward a peaceful conclusion."
