>The White House is blaming Iran for a spate of recent attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea by Tehran-backed Houthi rebels and is contemplating retaliatory actions along with allies, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday.
>Mr Sullivan said it was not known whether any of the three ships that were attacked over the weekend had any ties to Israel, but he told reporters at a White House press briefing that any such ties would not have made any of the ships a legitimate target under international law.
>“The position of the United States consistent with the position of the UN Security Council and consistent with the position of maritime nations across the world, is that attacks on commercial shipping and international waters are totally unacceptable and have to stop,” he said.
US is under attack for 2 months now by Iranian proxies. They have attacked bases, ships and more.
When is the US going to respond to the actual people responsible, the corrupted extremists Iranian regime?
I hope the American people are not so traumatized by conflicts that they are going to let some terrorists with 1/100,000,000 the firepower disrupt the world shipping lanes and destabilize the entire area. Despite probably having the ability to shut that shit down from kilometers away in a few hours.
Is the ayatollah Shia?
Maybe, but Russia is pulling the strings. They’re desperate to create the conditions that will bring his orange puppet back into power.
Well we shouldn’t be there provoking WWIII but yet, here we are. If we only had a few extra trillion for Muh FrEeDuM
& The White House will condemn this but take no real action against it.
Sounds like Yemen is about to go from the Stone Age to the cave age
Its time to deal with Iran face on.The democrats run US government (since President Obama’s time)has always been to pander to Iran with releasing of billion of frozen funds hoping the evil corrupted Iranian Islamic regime will not cause more trouble and destabilization around the world.But they are wrong.Instead the Iranian regime seen this as US’s weakness,and has become emboldened,spawning many proxies and terrorist organizations around the regions to do its bidding.There should not be any excuses anymore for inaction.Equip the Israelis with the proper weapons .Let them take out all the nuclear development facilities in Iran.Give them the latest and best bunker buster bombs to do the job.The Israeli are definitely capable of doing a nice job in destroying the Islamic regime ‘s intentions and ambition. The US can sit on the sideline while the Israeli hammer the ayatollahs.
Until it becomes a serious problem, I suspect we will just respond event by event. But at some point we have to tell Iran to stop or face direct consequences.
I think I’ve seen this one before
Do you want cruise missiles
cause that is how you get cruise missiles
Russia just wants the US mired into another conflict . It wants the focus off Ukraine at all costs. Biden can’t take the bait!
You know what to do. Time to go after Iran.
Trump (tomorrow): See what did I tell you..we should have injected them with bleach when we had a chance
I don’t blame them you keep fucking with their shit
Return the favour. Issue letters of Marque targeting any ship carrying cargo to or from Iran.
Desert Storm Pt. 2
“US enabled Iran to enable attacks on shipping in Red Sea”
FTFY
They know us by the friends we keep.
What’s going now after after Russia invasion of Ukraine shit has been spreading out everywhere. Even China is considering invading Taiwan and that’s no joke.
North Korea has been stepping up. Iran has been stepping up and Venezuela too? Did these countries have a secret of the US or some sort that we don’t know of?
And Qatar has been leading in funding the terrorist in broad day light. God damn
Messing with US boats is definitely a winning strategy.
_Threads_ started with US boots on the ground in Iran. Fun time ahead!
An ant has no quarrel with a boot.
We are underestimating the profound effect that Biden has had on America!
Just like President Ford in the 1970’s inherited a nation teetering on the edge of disaster after Nixon and the GOP almost destroyed the Country, it took Ford to again instill our basic Democracy. While he lost to Carter, he nevertheless restored America’s faith in our Country and our Democracy.
Now some 40-50 years later, a Corrupt President Trump and the GOP again brought our Country to the edge of disaster!!! It took President Biden to restore our Democracy and Country and faith in our government!
Whatever President Biden has not done in foreign relations, at least we have our Country back, if we can stop Trump and the GOP from destroying it in 2024!
Biden deserves reelection if only for restoring our Democracy and Country!!!
This will not go well for Iran. Iran should have learned not to screw with America’s boats already.
From the same playbook: “Gulf of Tonkin and the Vietnam War” , just digging around for “reasons” to start shit!…..🙄
9/11 playbook. Use disaster to pivot towards your real goal.
I wonder if Iran remembers what happened the last time they disrupted international shipping during the course of a regional conflict
First of all, GOOD. This is all important pressure on Washington to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Second, the US loves to use “Iranian-backed” to imply these groups are somehow puppeted by Iran. Totally false. The Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, various militias in Iraq & Syria, Hamas in Palestine, are all part of an “Axis of Resistance” alongside Iran but by no means take orders from them. These are all independently operated groups who, rightfully so, feel compelled to act against Israeli crimes.
Isn’t this an issue for China as well?
And weak-ass Biden keeps allowing it. Strike back!
The big question is why is Iran so confident in going to these lengths.
Do they have Russia or China supporting them in creating additional chaos and division in the west?
Maybe we should not have given them $10B recently.
