US President Joe Biden has said the US military, together with the UK, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels. The US will not hesitate to direct further measures after airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, he said. He added that these strikes are in direct response to Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in Red Sea.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed the attack had been carried out by the Royal Air Force, targeting strikes against military facilities used by Houthi rebels. He stated that his country will always stand up for freedom of navigation and free flow of trade.

US Launches Airstrikes Against Iran-Backed Houthis​

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. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak briefed his cabinet of ministers late Thursday on the imminent military intervention. The joint strike came after Iranian forces seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman early Thursday morning. The seized vessel was in transit to Turkey when the Iranian naval forces boarded and seized the vessel, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters.

We gave them enough warnings that they were probably able to move all their stuff from areas likely to be targeted...

So why did they warn them? What was the justification in their puny minds for that?

 

[mattfivefour]

A foolish idea that one more warning not to do bad stuff would stop them from doing bad stuff when all previous warnings had been ignored.

So now our enemies know that they get 1,245 warnings before we will actually do anything.
