The United States is going to take "appropriate action" in response to the Houthi drone and missile attacks in the Red Sea after a skirmish between the militant group in Yemen and the U.S.

When Houthi rebels used missiles and drones to attack three commercial ships in the Red Sea on Sunday, the USS Carney, a Navy destroyer, intercepted and shot down the objects.

"We have made clear that the entire world needs to step up together — not the U.S. alone, but all of us working together — to deal with this — this emerging challenge that the — that the Houthis present, backed by Iran," national security advisor Jake Sullivan said Monday after the attack, according to the official White House transcript. "We are going to take appropriate action in consultation with others, and we will do so at a time and place of our choosing."

The U.S. has stationed ships and other military assets in the Middle East to prevent Israel's war in Gaza from spiraling into a larger conflict since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking around 240 others hostage.

The Houthi rebels, an Iran-backed group that the Biden administration delisted as terrorists, have been linked to an increasing number of attacks in the region since Oct. 7.

Personal note: Here we go again spread out all over the Middle East - the Far
East - & Coastal war elements under siege. This shit never stops we are getting
spread pretty thin and trying to cover too many bases! Are we the only ones
to take on the world order!? I sure hope like hell NATO is investing support
and back us up during these constant insurrections and attacks. We had better
be getting supplies from these coastal elements by them as well!
