Houthis' Red Sea attacks a part of Iranian 'Axis of Resistance' plot to 'defeat US': experts warn
[NYPOST] The intensifying attacks on fat merchantmen in the Red Sea by Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels is a concerted and unsettling effort by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
to "defeat the United States" and "spread the Iranian Islamic revolution," experts caution.

"We are pretending we’re not at war. But the Iranians and the Houthis are at war with us," Bill Roggio, senior fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The Post Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Iran-backed forces of Evil launched a fresh attack on another vessel in the Red Sea — a critical shipping artery — targeting a container ship en route from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
to Pakistain with naval missiles.

The group has launched at least 100 attacks against 14 different commercial and merchant vessels in the Red Sea over the past month, a senior US military official said last week, CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
reported.

But sinking ships is not the higher goal of the attacks, according to Roggio.

"The act of targeting itself is sufficient," the military expert said.

"The Houthis and the Iranians are dictating the transit of maritime vessels on the high seas. This is incredible and the world seems powerless to stop it."
It's a matter of strength and will. We are not powerless

#3 The Iranians will not destroy America just Biden’s feeble chances at reelection. Most Americans couldn’t find Yemen on a globe if you spotted them Oman and Saudi Arabia. Eventually, Iran will get a punch through on one of our ships. Biden will respond with a feeble gesture and not change the ROE because the Iranians own him like they did Obama. At that point the campaign discussion will tie a string from Yemen through Abbey Gate around Benghazi and tie it off on Mogadishu. Someone should point out to the mullahs that this is how you get more Trump.
