German military vessel intercepts Houthi missile in Red Sea

Has anyone else the feeling that this will become a very long term thing of needing to protect shipping vessels and that it will affect prices of imported goods for the unforeseeable will rise ?
We know the Houthis are doing this in retaliation to Israeli attacks in Gaza. Let's say the Israelis stop one day and so do the Houthis.
We'll be used to the higher prices at that point that our corporate overlords will not lower prices and just direct the extra income towards profit.
They've been attacking intermittently since 2015. It's just convenient now to claim they won't stop because of Israel. They'll keep going until Iran wants them to stop. Which won't be anytime soon even if Israel stops.
I somehow doubt they will stop if Israel stops bombing Gaza. They will just move the goalposts.
This hints at corporations profiting from occasional attacks on shipping vessels, so they have more reasons to hike up prices.
If you cared to listen to the houthis, you would find out that its exactly the objective of their operation.
I thought houthis just occured naturally and sometimes shot missles into the Red Sea, like rocks falling down a mountain pass.
This is just Iran being general dicks. Not to be confused with their generals who are also dicks
