After weeks of assaults on ships in the Red Sea, the Islamo-fascist group, the Houthis, have finally been struck. The Houthis were warned by both American and British officials that ongoing strikes against commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea region would result in a military response. The Houthis called their bluff.
The avatar for the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, Joe Biden, said of the strikes, “These attacks have endangered U.S. personnel, civilian mariners, and our partners, jeopardized trade, and threatened freedom of navigation… I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary.”

A U.S. defense official, who, like some others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe details of the operation, said a consortium of military aircraft and naval assets, including submarines, were used. They took out Houthi air defenses before targeting radars and facilities used to store and launch unmanned aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, the person said. U.S. and British forces carried out the strikes with Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Bahrain in supporting roles.
