Yemen's Huthi rebels claimed another attack on a US ship early Friday, after the United States launched fresh strikes on rebel targets over their aggression towards vessels in and around the Red Sea.

While the Iran-backed rebels maintained they had struck the commercial vessel in the Gulf of Aden, the US military later said the group's missiles had missed their mark.

The Huthis said in a statement posted to social media that their "naval forces... carried out a targeting operation against an American ship" -- identified as the Chem Ranger -- "with several appropriate naval missiles, resulting in direct hits".

Yemen needs to reacquaint itself with the Stone Age and revert to a sand flea refuge.

....carried out a targeting operation...

Enemy fires deadly missiles with intent to kill as many as possible and scores hits....and its we say that they "carried out a targeting operation"?

This is what appeasement does. Iran should have been punched hard October 23,1983. Carter helped creat Iran what it is today but Reagan dithered after the bombing. Sorry for the insensitive proclamation but the Mideast would be better off with the Shah of Iran and President of Iraq still in power and the USA energy independent. Now Iran does what it wants including working to build nuclear weapons, exporting terrorism and having Iraq as its proxy along with Yemen,Gaza and the sympathetic west.

The only thing I can say is that Reagan didn’t have a crystal ball, but all the other Presidents after him didn’t do anything at all, Republican and Democrat.Sanctions? Pffft!
They laugh at sanctions. They should have been flattened.
