Biden wakes up and has U.S. strike back at Houthis after they’ve been attacking ships in Red Sea

It seems like President Joe Biden finally woke up from the jasmine blowing softly in his mind and decided to allow the military to strike back at the Houthis who have been attacking the shipping in the Red Sea because maybe they were planning to go to Israel or something.

So on Thursday night, the U.S. and U.K. hit back on the terrorist group firing Tomahawk missiles and joint airstrikes into Yemen targeting launch sites, storage depots, and anything that looked like it could do damage.

The Houthis, an Islamist terrorist, anti-Semitic terrorist group have been targeting commercial shipping routes to show their support for the Hamassholes.

Operation Prosperity is the joint effort by the U.S. and U.K. to protect shipping in the Red Sea, but it was only now that the terrorists are getting the much-deserved payback from us.

The Royal Navy has a guided-missile destroyer, HMS Diamond in the Red Sea, while the U.S. Navy has a carrier strike group featuring the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, one cruiser, and two destroyers. And even with all that, the Houthis have still been like a turd in a public swimming pool.

The Wall Street Journal had reported that Western diplomats informed maritime executives of possible strikes targeting missile and drone launch sites, radars and weapons in Yemen, where the Houthis are based.

Meanwhile, if a strike order was to be enacted when it all began, it had to come from our incompetent Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who was in ICU for prostate cancer and kept it a secret from everyone. At least Austin has resumed his duties and operational control of the U.S. military on Friday.

To date, we and our allies have been mainly focused on the defense of commercial shipping from the Houthis, rather than having the testicular fortitude to go on the offense fearing an expansion of conflict in the region. Now that we’ve grown a pair and repelled the largest attack thus far on the Red Sea by the scumcrumpets, things could heat up.

The U.S. and U.K. combined have shot down 21 drones and missiles fired by the Houthis.

Grant Shapps, the U.K. Defense Secretary, said the situation has become “unsustainable,” and that it “cannot continue and cannot be allowed to continue."

US-less Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also had something to say on Wednesday. “If these attacks continue… there will be consequences. Again, this represents a clear threat to the interests of countries around the world, and it’s important that the international community come together and respond to that.”

Upon hearing those frightening words by Blinken, the Houthis threw up their hands in complete surrender and the Middle East is no longer a dangerous place to do shipping commerce.

Just kidding.

Blinken flew back to the U.S. on Thursday, after a final stop in Egypt.

Iran again threatens Britain over 'vicious' oil tanker seizure

The screws around the symbolic gonads of Iran are tightening, causing them to make irrational threats as the Royal Navy sends a third warship to the Gulf.

IRAN’s supreme Islamic leader and grand poobah has threatened Britain with retaliation over the “vicious” seizure of an Iranian oil tanker near Gibraltar.

As tensions escalate over the tanker incident, it was revealed that the Royal Navy is set to send a third warship to the Persian Gulf this summer to protect their own ships from Iran's past illegal boarding and kidnapping of seamen.

It comes as an Iranian bomb boat was cruising in the path of a second British warship – the HMS Duncan – which is currently racing to the flashpoint.

Iranian leader for life whether the Iranian citizens like it or not, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei [aka "Breakfast Beard"] accused Britain of “piracy” after the Royal Marines seized a supertanker believed to be carrying Iranian crude oil to Syria on July 5. He needs to look in the mirror.

He called for the immediate release of the oil tanker Grace 1, which was detained on suspicion it was breaking European sanctions by taking oil to Syria, which dollars to Dunkin Donuts it was.

In a TV speech, immediately following the religious anti-Israel, anti-America station break, the Ayatollah said: “Evil Britain commits piracy and steals our ship and gives it a legal appearance.

“Iran and those who believe in our system will not leave such vicious deeds unanswered.”

Personally, the Ayatollah doesn't want to get his own hands dirty so he send others to do the wet work.

The comments were made as concerns grow about a UAE-based Gulf oil tanker, the MT Riah, which went missing in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.

Tracking data from the MT Riah last showed it heading for Iranian waters.

A US defense official said on Tuesday the US “has suspicions” the tanker has been seized by Iran.

Tensions between Iran and the UK have spiralled since the Iranian Grace 1 oil tanker was seized by the Royal Navy earlier this month off the coast of Gibraltar.

Sounding like the black knight in the Monty Python skit, Iran has threatened to seize a British tanker in retaliation if the Grace 1 is not released.

Three tiny Iranian boats also tried to seize a BP oil tanker as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday July 10, but the HMS Montrose, which was escorting the tanker through the flashpoint region sailed in front of the boats.

The Royal Navy ship immediately training its 30mm deck guns on the enemy boats, prepared to make the little crafts resemble Kraft Swiss Cheese, and it deployed its Wildcat helicopter and issuing a radio warning. 

The Iranian boats scampered away like roaches when the lights go on.

HMS Duncan has since been deployed to patrol the busy shipping lane as all UK flagged vessels were put on the highest security alert level over fears of retaliation from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. But an unmanned Iranian bomb boat, luckily spotted by Saudi forces, was in its path, which could have destroyed HMS Duncan.
