The “response” from the Biden administration to attacks on American forces (since that’s apparently what we’re calling it) continued for a second straight night. This time, British forces joined in with American Air Force and naval assets in strikes against Houthi installations in Yemen. The Department of Defense said that three dozen targets were hit, […]
After Iran-backed militants killed three American soldiers and wounded dozens of others with a drone strike, Joe Biden promised that we would “strike back.” We still haven’t seen that response, but we’ve been told that it’s on the way. Meanwhile, the Iranians do not appear to be backing down at all. In fact, they’re promising […]
It’s hard to see how much longer this can last without a significant effect on the global economy. Oddly enough, it’s #Bidenomics, inflation, and a uniformly shaky world financial situation that’s actually helped mitigate some of the effects of the Houthi militia’s fiery hijinks in the Bab al-Mandeb strait. We were already in kind of […]
This is the second time that the US and UK have launched a joint strike against the Houthis in Yemen. Politico describes it as a large-scale strike. The U.S. and U.K. conducted large-scale air and missile strikes on Houthi rebel facilities across Yemen on Monday, according to a U.S. and British official, stepping up operations […]
For quite some time now we’ve been keeping a close eye on the border region between Pakistan and India. The two nuclear powers have never gotten along well, with frequent skirmishes breaking out over disputed territory. But as of yesterday, Pakistan has experienced a flare-up with a different neighbor. Iran has launched attacks on what […]
Well, it took a direct missile attack on an American cargo ship to make it happen, but Joe Biden will reportedly add the Houthi militants in Yemen back to the designated list of terrorists at long last. Or more correctly, he will sort of add them back to the list, but it’s not the same […]
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 […]
I suppose it was only a matter of time. Both Iran and their Houthi proxies have been ignoring the limited response coming from the Biden administration and promising to continue attacks on shipping in the Red Sea until the war in Gaza ends. Now they’ve struck an American cargo ship with a missile. The Gibraltar […]
Iran is in a proxy war with the United States, and inching ever closer to directly attacking the US. The proxy war is not new, but it has escalated dramatically since the October 7th Hamas massacre in Israel. There have been over 100 attacks on Americans and American assets, and as John wrote yesterday, the […]
Iran may have dramatically stepped up its involvement in the Middle East conflict with the US. Today, Iran’s IRGC reportedly launched missiles at a US consulate in Erbil, Iraq. At least that’s one of several stories that are now circulating. What we know for sure is that missiles did land in the area of Erbil. […]
