U.S. hits back at the Houthies anti-ship missile attack: CENTCOM

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the military conducted retaliatory, self-defense strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The target was a Houthi anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea early Saturday morning. 

The U.S. strike was labeled "self-defense," but perhaps it's time for the world's most powerful military to put a stop to this Houthi bluster and end them once and for all. But Joe Biden is still President so we're going to have to wait.

"On Jan. 27 at approximately 3:45 a.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command Forces conducted a strike against a Houthi anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea and which was prepared to launch," CENTCOM said in a statement.

"U.S. Forces identified the missile in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, and determined it presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and the U.S. Navy ships in the region," the statement continued. "U.S. Forces subsequently struck and destroyed the missile in self-defense. This action will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy vessels and merchant vessels."

Meanwhile the world blames Israel for their preemptive self-defense strikes against Iran for their genocidal ambitions. 

This latest U.S. effort comes after the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists fired an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and struck the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker M/V Marlin Luanda at about 7:45 p.m. Friday night Sanaa time, CENTCOM said. The ship made a distress call and reported damage but no injuries were reported, this time.

The attack against the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker is the 38th attack by the Houthis since November 19 and the second attack on Friday. 

Hey guys, it's time for the U.S. to get the party started. This cannot go on much longer before an American gets hurt or killed.
