US and UK forces launch airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthis in response to Red Sea attacks
US-UK coalition strike Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen after spate of ship attacks in Red Sea Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi militants have stepped up attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea in recent weeks By Bradford Betz Fox News Published January 11, 2024 6:34pm EST
The United States and Britain carried out a series of air strikes on military locations belonging to Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen early Friday in response to the militant group's ongoing attacks on vessels traveling through the Red Sea.
Fox News is told there were attacks on more than a dozen Houthi targets by air, surface, and subsurface platforms.
The strikes came shortly after the White House called a lid on President Biden's engagements for the evening as he was not expected to discuss the matter publicly. It also follows news that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had not notified the president of his whereabouts while he was in the ICU at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
In anticipation of the attack, Houthi forces transported some weapons and equipment and fortified others, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a U.S. defense official. Local reports indicated Houthi militants were evacuating the Red Sea city of Hodeidah.

Democrats slam Biden for bypassing Congress to strike Yemen 'The President needs to come to Congress,' Rep. Khanna said By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News Published January 11, 2024 8:25pm EST
Some House Democrats are frustrated with the Biden administration for striking Houthi positions in Yemen without Congressional approval on Thursday night.
"The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east conflict," Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., wrote on X. "That is Article I of the Constitution.
"I will stand up for that regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House," he added.

5 killed in US-lead strikes in Yemen, Houthi rebels say by Tara Suter - 01/12/24 8:12 AM ET
U.S.-led airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on Thursday killed at least five people, according to the rebels.
Six people were also wounded, the Houthis said.
A Houthi official in their foreign ministry, Hussein al-Ezzi, described the strikes as “a massive aggressive attack by American and British ships, submarines and warplanes.”
“America and Britain will undoubtedly have to prepare to pay a heavy price and bear all the dire consequences of this blatant aggression,” al-Ezzi added.
The Houthis’ chief negotiator and spokesperson, Mohammed Abdul-Salam, meanwhile, said the U.S. and Britain “committed foolishness with this treacherous aggression.”
“They were wrong if they thought that they would deter Yemen from supporting Palestine and Gaza,” he said. Houthi “targeting will continue to affect Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine,” he said.
The U.S. and the U.K. conducted strikes in Yemen against the Houthis with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands in “direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks” in the Red Sea, according to President Biden.

Houthis Vow to Keep Attacking Ships in Red Sea After US-Led Strikes in Yemen Yemen's Houthi militia said U.S.-led attacks on its anti-ship missile launchers would not deter it from firing at Red Sea shipping Published 01/12/24 06:06 AM ET|Updated 2 hr ago Peter S. Green
Yemen’s rebel military government said it would “not hesitate to target sources of threat and all hostile targets on land and at sea,” after a joint U.S. and U.K. air raid struck the Houthi rebel’s missile bases late Thursday night, in an effort to end attacks on shipping int he Red Sea.
Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saree said that 73 sorties left 5 people dead an six injured.
“The Yemeni armed forces will not hesitate to target sources of threat and all hostile targets on land and at sea in defense of Yemen, its sovereignty and independence,” Saree said, adding Yemen would continue to target shipping headed to Israel.
There was no immediate report on the damage done by the U.S. and UK attacks.
After weeks of Houthi missile attacks halted merchant shipping in the Red Sea - the access point to the Suez Canal - the U.S. and U.K. hit back at Iran-backed Houthi militants Thursday night — raining Tomahawk cruise missiles and bombs from fighter jets on targets in Yemen.

From the other thread:
These opinions may or may not be popular hereabouts, but:
1. Damn well about time!
2. LIEden should have done this several months ago, with or without other nations' participation and support.
3. LIEden's delay encouraged the Houthis and made the situation worse than it could have been.
4. I hope the various countries' PTBs realize that a single set of strikes won't get the Houthis to stop.
And if the government of Yemen supports the Houthis' piracy, scroom!

Why is American treasure being spent, and American blood being risked, to protect Europe's and Asia's shipping routes?
Much of the Persian Gulf oil is going to India, China, and Japan.
Much of the container ship traffic is between Europe and China.
The Suez Canal was built by the British and the French to reduce travel time between those countries and their south Asian colonies.
Let China, India, and the E.U. protect their own damn trade routes.
The US should not still be backfilling the void left by the collapse of the British Empire after World War II.

Pentagon: We Waited to Strike Houthis Because Yesterday Was When We ‘Felt the Most Comfortable’ It Would Work
Ian Hanchett 12 Jan 2024
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said that the U.S. waited until now to strike the Houthis because “last night’s strike is when we felt the most comfortable that we would be able to effectively disrupt and degrade Houthi capabilities” that are targeting ships in the Red Sea.
Host Jake Tapper asked, “So, the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have resulted in major disruptions to shipping while endangering U.S. servicemembers. This has been going on for nearly three months, since October 7, when Hamas attacked Israel. Why did the U.S. and U.K. wait until now, why now to strike?”
Singh responded, “Well, to that, last night’s strike is when we felt the most comfortable that we would be able to effectively disrupt and degrade Houthi capabilities that have been targeting commercial merchant vessels, ships that have been transiting throughout the Red Sea. We always reserve the right to decide, at a time and place of our choosing, when we feel it is best to strike, and last night was that moment. … [W]e are very confident in the impact that we were able to leave on the Houthis, again, as they are probably trying to recalibrate and trying to think through next steps, we were able to hit approximately sixteen locations where they have been holding capabilities that have been targeting, not only commercial vessels, but, of course, other ships transiting that region.”

Pentagon: We Waited to Strike Houthis Because Yesterday Was When We ‘Felt the Most Comfortable’ It Would Work
(https://i.imgur.com/SgUFCc1.gif) The only reason that a strike against the Houthis was final made is because Americans were so outraged and it was becoming so obvious that no one could deny what an ineffectual fools Biden and his administration are. Of course part of 'being comfortable' was giving the Houthis plenty of advance warning so they could protect their people and weapons 9999hair out0000

Message was ‘privately delivered’ to Iran after strikes on Houthi targets, Biden says By Social Links for Matthew Sedacca Published Jan. 13, 2024, 1:44 p.m. ET
President Biden said Saturday that the United States has “privately” delivered a message to Iran over its backing of Houthis targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
As he was heading to Camp David for the weekend, Biden was asked Saturday what message was being sent to Iran through a pair of attacks targeting dozens of facilities in Yemen controlled by the Tehran proxies.
“We delivered it privately and we’re confident we’re well prepared,” the president answered.
The response was an apparent attempt to reiterate his Friday comment when Biden said that the American military’s initial strikes on Houthi targets had “already delivered the message to Iran …. They know not to do anything.”
On Friday, US officials said the Navy destroyer USS Carney had fired off Tomahawk land missiles that struck a Houthi radar site being used to target ships in the Red Sea.

On Friday, US officials said the Navy destroyer USS Carney had fired off Tomahawk land missiles that struck a Houthi radar site being used to target ships in the Red Sea.

Message was ‘privately delivered’ to Iran after strikes on Houthi targets, Biden says
Everything the American Government/American Military knows, Iran knows as well. During the Hussein Obama administration, Iran infiltrated every corner of American Intel, with Obama's blessing. This is why Israel only feeds America disinformation. Because to tell America anything is the same as briefing Iran and China at the same time. General Milley bragged about it.
Biden is a non-entity. He has no idea what is happening. All Biden knows is Wheel of Fortune and ice cream at seven o'clock. And all his staff are loyal to Obama.
Of course the enemy was warned before the strike. Obama is famous for alerting Iraq or any other Muslim nation before any American strike. We have to view all foreign policy and military directives as if Obama is directing it. Because he actually is.

US cargo ship hit by Houthi ballistic missile, Pentagon
Charlotte Hazard | January 15, 2024 | 1:07pm
A U.S. cargo ship was hit Monday in the Red Sea by a ballistic missile fired by the Iranian-backed rebel group the Houthis, according to the Pentagon.
The reported attack is another incident in the international shipping channel shortly after the start of the Israel-Hamas war in early-October 2023. In response, the U.S. has fired missiles over the past several days into Yemen, where the group, which sympathizes with the Palestinian-affiliate Hamas, purportedly has headquarters.
The strike hit the Gibraltar Eagle and no injuries have been reported, according to U.S. Central Command.
“As a result of the impact the vessel suffered limited damage to a cargo hold but is stable and is heading out of the area,” the group said, according to CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/15/politics/houthi-missile-strikes-us-owned-ship/index.html). “All seafarers onboard the vessel are confirmed to be uninjured.” . . .

US Carries Out Another Strike on Houthis in Yemen John Sexton 5:00 PM on January 16, 2024
As Jazz pointed out this morning, the Houthis don’t seem to have been dissuaded from attacks on US targets thus far. In the last couple days they have launched attacks on a US commercial vessel and at a US Navy destroyer. Fortunately, the missile aimed at the destroyer was shot down. Today, the US hit another target inside Yemen as the Houthis were preparing another strike.
Quote
The strikes on Tuesday were aimed at four missiles that were being prepared to be fired from their launchers and posed an imminent threat to merchant vessels and Navy ships, the command said in a statement…
Residents in the area said on Monday that they saw Houthi missiles being fired from remote and mountainous parts of Mukayras, a Houthi-controlled town in central Yemen, on Friday and Monday…
On Tuesday, the Houthis fired an anti-ship ballistic missile into the Red Sea, hitting the Zografia, a Maltese-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier, a Defense Department official said. The ship’s crew reported no injuries. The vessel remained seaworthy, and continued its journey, the official said.
Here’s an older photo of the Greek ship that was hit today.

Pentagon: It’s ‘Up to the Houthis’ when They Decide to Stop Striking
Ian Hanchett 20 Jan 2024
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh responded to a question on why the U.S. hasn’t taken the Houthis out of commission by stating that “it’s really up to the Houthis when they make the calculation to stop” attacking.
Co-host John Roberts asked, “The U.S. military’s got the capability of putting the Houthis out of business this afternoon, why don’t we just do it?”
Singh answered, “Look, it’s really up to the Houthis for when they decide to stop their attacks. We know they still have capabilities. By no means did we say we have eliminated every single thing that they have, but we have degraded and completely disrupted some of their capabilities, including as recently as early this morning, when we took action against anti-ship ballistic missiles that were getting ready to launch at U.S. ships and merchant ships that are transiting that Red Sea area. We still know that the Houthis do maintain and retain some capabilities, of course. But it’s really up to the Houthis when they make the calculation to stop. And so, that’s why you’re seeing the dynamic strikes that we’re continuing to launch over the past few days.”
Later, she added that the U.S. does factor avoiding a regional war into all of its decisions.

Biden Co-Chair: ‘No Surprise’ We Haven’t Deterred Houthis Yet
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “One World,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that “it’s no surprise that a couple of rounds of U.S. and British attacks on Houthi launchers have not yet deterred them.”
Coons said,“The Houthis are really quite tough. They endured years of bombardment and attacks by the Saudis. They began the conflict with the Saudis by launching missiles into Saudi Arabia. And so, frankly, it’s no surprise that a couple of rounds of U.S. and British attacks on Houthi launchers have not yet deterred them. But frankly, we could not allow them to continue to attack vessels passing by in the Red Sea. This impacts all of global commerce, a huge percentage of shipping from Asia to Europe and Europe to Asia passes through the very narrow point where Yemen is separated from the continent of Africa. And President Biden approached this in a deliberate way. He assembled a coalition of a dozen countries committed to trying to stop the Houthis. He went to the United Nations and got a Security Council resolution authorizing this multinational action against the Houthis. This is distinct from a number of other recent conflicts, in that it is something that is in the interests of everyone, including the Chinese and the Indians, the Saudis, even the Russians, it is in no one’s interests — except perhaps Iran — for the Houthis to disturb global commerce and for thousands and thousands of ships to be redirected around the Horn of Africa.”

U.S. personnel wounded in missile attack on Iraq airbase by Iranian-backed rebels
By Faris Tanyos
January 20, 2024 / 6:18 PM EST / CBS News
Several U.S. military personnel were injured in a missile attack Saturday night by Iranian-backed rebels on Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, the Pentagon said.
At about 6:30 p.m. local time, multiple ballistic missiles and rockets were fired by Iranian-backed militants from western Iraq, U.S. Central Command said in a statement posted to social media.
The base's air defense systems intercepted "most of the missiles," but "others impacted the base," CENTCOM reported.
Multiple U.S. personnel were being evaluated for traumatic brain injuries, CENTCOM said, and at least one Iraqi soldier was also wounded. No further details were immediately provided.
This marks the 144th attack on U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria since Hamas launched its violent Oct. 7 assault on Israel and sparked the Israel-Hamas war. It's also one of the largest such attacks, and the second in which militia groups have fired ballistic missiles.

US gears up for war with Houthis to stop missile strikes on Red Sea shipping By Jamie McIntyre January 22, 2024 7:56 am
US INTENT ON DEGRADING HOUTHI FIREPOWER: The United States is preparing to mount a sustained bombing campaign against targets in Houthi-controlled western Yemen that will last until the attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea are deterred or Houthi missile stocks are exhausted.
The plans for an open-ended military campaign follow a meeting of senior officials convened by the White House last week, according to a report by the Washington Post, which quoted one unnamed senior administration official as saying, “We’re not sure that they’re going to stop immediately, but we are certainly trying to degrade and destroy their capabilities.”
The U.S. military has conducted strikes against Houthi anti-ship missiles five of the last seven days, with the latest strike Saturday against a single target. Last Thursday, President Joe Bien conceded the airstrikes have yet to produce the desired effect. “Are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes,” he said.

US, British militaries launch new round of joint strikes against multiple Houthi sites in Yemen By Social Links for Allie Griffin Published Jan. 22, 2024, 6:19 p.m. ET
The US and Britain on Monday launched a punishing wave of fresh airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen in retaliation for attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
The bombings targeting the rebels’ strongholds — including drone and missile sites and even an underground bunker — were the eighth US-led strikes in 11 days.
Monday’s offensive also marked the second time the US and Britain have launched joint retaliatory strikes on Houthi-linked locations.
“President Biden has directed the Secretary of Defense in coordination with Australia, Bahrain, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to execute precise strikes against select Houthi targets in Yemen,” a senior US defense official said on a call with reporters.
“This action aims to deter further regional maritime attacks, and diminish Houthi capabilities.”

The Biden Pentagon is denying it is at war with the Iran-backed Houthi forces, even as President Joe Biden submits notifications to Congress of military action required by the War Powers Resolution.
On January 18, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh was pressed by reporters if another round of U.S. military strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen meant that the U.S. was now at war with the Houthis. She, responded:
We are not at war with the Houthis. In terms of a definition, I think that would be more of a clear declaration from the United States.
However, Biden has submitted at least two notifications to Congress under the War Powers Resolution, which sets out the president’s reporting responsibilities on committing U.S. forces into hostilities “in the absence of a declaration of war.”

Tim Kaine (D-VA) stated that the Biden administration “is saying that they don’t expect the Houthis to stop” launching attacks despite strikes by the U.S. and the “only thing” that has actually worked to get the Houthis to stop launching attacks is a deal where Israel frees Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of hostages.
Kaine said, “It’s clearly not going to stop. You see the U.S. taking action with allies against the Houthis and then the Houthis responding in kind. And the administration is saying that they don’t expect the Houthis to stop. The only thing that has stopped the Houthis recently has been a hostage release deal. So, when we got the hostage release deal a month or so ago, where hostages were released by Hamas, Palestinian prisoners were released by Israel, and then there was a pause in hostilities to get humanitarian aid to Gazans, the Houthis stopped. That’s the only thing that’s shown there to be de-escalation, which is why I’m also upping my calls again, let’s focus on the lynchpin of this whole thing, which is hostages, let’s really engage with the Israelis, the Qataris, the Egyptians, and everybody to get hostages released. If we do that, it’s likely to come accompanied with a pause in hostilities so we can get more humanitarian aid to suffering Gazans. That will also probably stop the Houthis.”

This crap won't stop until the West cuts the legs out from under Iran.
If the E.U. or the U.N won't contribute to the defense of the Freedom of Navigation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Yemen, then, the US Navy should withdraw from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Yemen.
America is not the World Police, and much of that traffic is neither originating in the US nor destined for the US.
Let the Europeans and Chi-coms defend their own trade routes; or, have a United Nations coalition defend the Freedom of Navigation in that part of the World.
In the meantime, the US and British navies should establish a presence on the staregically located Yemeni island of Socotra before the Chi-coms do.

Surely, some Somali pirates are available for the U.N. to hire.

Iran Denies Responsibility for Drone Attack That Killed 3 American Soldiers as Biden Weighs Options
The White House considers how to respond after the first deadly attack on U.S. servicemembers in the Middle East since Oct. 7 By Peter S. Green
Iran is claiming it had nothing to do with an attack on a U.S. outpost in Jordan that killed three U.S. servicemembers on Sunday, and warned that more U.S. strikes on Syria and Iraq will only add to instability in the region, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said Monday.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden blamed Iran for the attack on Tower 22, on the Syria-Iraq border, and vowed a response. It was the first deadly strike on U.S. forces in the region since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on Oct. 7.
A Tehran-funded and armed group called the Iraqi Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for the attack.

US continues strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen
The United States military continued strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on Friday while conducting retaliatory airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Saturday.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. local time on Friday, the USS Carney engaged and shot down one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over the Gulf of Arden, CENTCOM said. No injuries or damage were reported.
Hours later at 4:40 p.m., U.S. forces conducted strikes against four Houthi UAVs that were prepared to launch, officials said.
"U.S. forces identified the UAVs in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that they presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and the U.S. Navy ships in the region. U.S. forces subsequently struck and destroyed the UAVs in self-defense," CENTCOM said in a statement.
Then at 9:20 p.m., the USS Laboon and F/A-18s from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group engaged and shot down seven UAVs over the Red Sea. There were no injuries reported.
"These actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy vessels and merchant vessels," CENTCOM said. Posted by Chris Pandolfo

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and Britain struck 36 Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday in a second wave of assaults meant to further disable Iran-backed groups that have relentlessly attacked American and international interests in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.

US Conducts Self-Defense Strikes Against ‘Deeply Buried’ Houthi Targets
Micaela Burrow Investigative Reporter, Defense February 03, 2024 5:42 PM ET
The U.S. and United Kingdom struck deeply hardened targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Saturday in response to the rebel group’s increasingly dangerous attacks on international shipping and naval vessels, according to statements.
The strikes targeted Houthi storage facilities, missile systems and launchers, air defense systems and radars in the third large-scale joint operation since the Houthis began attacking international shipping in late November, according to an emailed joint statement from the U.S., U.K. and supporting countries. Since the last joint strikes on Jan. 11 and Jan. 22, the Houthis have continued to conduct dangerous missile and drone attacks against ships in the Red Sea, including setting a fuel tanker on fire for hours in the most severe incident to date.
“These strikes are intended to further disrupt and degrade the capabilities of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia to conduct their reckless and destabilizing attacks against U.S. and international vessels lawfully transiting the Red Sea,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in an emailed statement.

Houthis vow 'escalation' after US, UK launch more strikes in Yemen The US and UK launched a massive airstrike campaign against the Houthis in Yemen By Anders Hagstrom Fox News Published February 4, 2024 2:28pm EST Houthi rebels vowed "escalation" in reaction to U.S. and U.K. strikes launched in Yemen on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Iran-backed group vowed to continue its campaign of disrupting regional trade "no matter the sacrifices it costs us." The U.S. and U.K. launched a series of attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen this weekend in reaction to a lethal drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan last week.
"The US-British coalition’s bombing of a number of Yemeni provinces will not change our position, and we affirm that our military operations against Israel will continue until the crimes of genocide in Gaza are stopped and the siege on its residents is lifted, no matter the sacrifices it costs us," Houthi spokesman Mohammed al-Bukhaiti wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
"Our war is moral, and if we had not intervened to support the oppressed in Gaza, humanity would not have existed among humans. The American-British aggression against Yemen will not go unanswered, and we will meet escalation with escalation," he added.

Israel should just flat out annex the West Bank and Gaza. Stop giving Palestinian terrorists the false hope of an independent Palestinian Arab state. An independent Palestinian Arab state would be a launching pad for future attemtps to force Israeli Jews out of Palestine.
Israel occupied them after the 1967 war because Israel's enemies launched attacks against Israel from those territories.
Each time Arabs launch an offensive against Israel, the Arabs lose. They never learn that Israel isn't going anywhere.

If Israel were to annex those areas, it will no longer be a Jewish state, because the majority of its citizens would be Moslem Arabs. That is why they don't. (I asked this same question many years ago, and that was the answer I got.)

Kind of like "Exodus" turned around 180 degrees.

That I can agree with. Annexing those areas will do nothing to improve Israel's position. And they would still be faced with putting down Pallie murderers (which Israel have been releasing in "swaps", planting the seeds for the next massacre).
