Houthi Bab al-Mandeb operations fail to significantly reduce Red Sea commercial traffic within 14 days of activation
Prediction Chain
Houthi Counter-Blockade
Reasoning
Houthi track record in this war: six missiles, zero strategic effect. Capability unproven at the scale required for chokepoint enforcement. European Red Sea naval task force already in position and prepared for resumed attacks. Unlike the IRGC at Hormuz, Houthis lack coastal missile infrastructure, mine-laying capacity, and fast boat swarms to credibly close a waterway. Screening ships by political identity is not an interdiction.
Resolution
Parent prediction P049 expired without firing. Conditional resolves untested per protocol - excluded from calibration since the scenario never arose.
