The United States is whining about the Iranians being involved in the attacks by the Yemen Houthis on ships traversing the Red Sea.

The United States has accused Iran of being “deeply involved” in attacks by Houthi rebels on commercial ships in the Red Sea. Tehran has provided drones and missiles to the Houthis, as well as tactical intelligence “critical in enabling” the strikes, the White House has said.
Since last month, Yemen’s Houthis have launched multiple drone and missile attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting maritime traffic.
“We know that Iran was deeply involved in planning the operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea,” White House national security spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement, adding that it is “an international challenge that demands collective action.” The White House has also said it is mulling additional actions to respond to the Houthis.
The group has claimed the attacks are in response to Israeli strikes in Gaza. The conflict in the Palestinian enclave escalated on October 7 when Hamas fighters attacked Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking scores hostage. Israel’s retaliatory operation against Gaza, which Israeli officials say is aimed at wiping out the militant group, has left more than 20,000 dead so far, according to local health officials. The Houthis have pledged to continue targeting ships sailing close to Yemen as long as Israel continues its war on Hamas.
The Iranians are most definitely supporting these operations, but what is the US going to do about this other than whine?
Their so-called coalition to deal with this has pretty much collapsed before it even launched. Do they think they can attack Iran? Such an operation would be a disaster.
The people in Washington DC are deluded. They think the US is the same power it was back in the early 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. They fail to grasp that the world has changed significantly and continue to act like they are the masters of the universe.
