The United States Navy has finally responded to the ongoing attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. Their attacks against foreign ships, after doing nothing about it for months, has finally changed.
The Navy struck Houthi rebel radar sites after a merchant sailor and boat went missing in the Red Sea early last week. So far, the U.S. strikes wiped out seven radar sites within Houthi territory, according to Central Command (CENTCOM). The Associated Press (AP) reported that the NAVY did not elaborate on how the sites were destroyed and did not immediately respond to questions so as not to give away the store.
In another instance, two drone boats in the Red Sea that held bombs were destroyed, along with a drone that was launched above the waters from the Houthi terrorists.
CENTCOM reported that a commercial sailor from the Liberian-flagged and Greek-owned cargo carrier Tutor has been missing since Wednesday, after the Houthis used a drone with a bomb on it to strike the boat. In this incident, the crew had to abandon ship and were subsequently rescued by the USS Philippine Sea along with partner forces. but the Tutor remains in the Red Sea and is “taking on water,” the agency said, the AP reports.
This comes after a mid-May attack by the Houthis on a foreign oil tanker in the Red Sea, just after alleged President Biden's staff covertly met with Iran and begged them to get the terrorists to cut it out already. What a bad taste that leaves in one's mouth.
However, it looks as if the U.S. is finally making a move to stop the aggression, perhaps due to the impending presidential election and an effort to make Joe Biden look as if he's sentient.
Of course we should remember that just this past April, the Biden special envoy to Yemen was kicking around the idea of removing the terrorists from the terrorist watch list designation. The Biden administration also thought of changing the military's orders to attack the Houthi's military capabilities, proving to the world just how impaired our so-called leader is.
