Then start IDing the means the Iranians are using to transport missiles to the Houthis and interdict those. Declare a law enforcement activity where the US is going to deter illegal weapons shipments. Any ships found to be carrying arms to the Houthis will be boarded and searched and if weapons are found, impounded.

A "law enforcement activity"? What jurisdiction does the US have to conduct "law enforcement activities" in the Persian Gulf? How would we "find" that ships are carrying weapons before we board and search them?

We could try to impose a military blockade on Yemeni ports, but I imagine that the official Yemeni government might have some thoughts on that - since we're nominally on their "side" against the Houthi rebels.
