The U.S. on Friday accused Iran of close involvement in attacks on commercial ships by Yemen's Houthi rebels, stepping up the tone as Washington considers tougher measures including possible force.
The White House said that Tehran's clerical state has provided drones and missiles to the Houthis as well as tactical intelligence.
"We know that Iran was deeply involved in planning the operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea," National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said.
"We have no reason to believe that Iran is trying to dissuade the Houthis from this reckless behavior," she said.

No doubt.
From the Biden admin? More like Strangely worded letter to follow.
Actually, hugely increased budget request to follow.
Seriously, the War in Ukraine and the Israel War in Gaza are reshaping the weapons brought to the battlefield more than WW1. Inexpensive air drones, ManPod anti-armor smart rockets, sea drones, electronic spying to use cell phone signals for aiming weapons, etc. are all major changes in how war is fought.
As to what is going on in the Red Sea, it is going to accelerate the need for laser weapons to destroy drones inexpensively.
Ezekiel 38 is coming
out of all of this disaster
More likely the WH is deeply involved.
Russia is involved too
Where do you think the Houthis got their helicopters to raid that Japanese ship?
Iran doesn’t make any helicopters ...
Do you think the letter will say “Don’t” or “Knock it off”?
EC
Wow! You think so?
Ooooh, scawy.
And Ezekiel 39 comes soon after that. It’s pointing more in that direction all the time.
👍👍
But that is not going to stop Obiden from sending billions more dollars in aid to Iran and to Hamas.
That’s nice.
Of course, we knew this listening to the very first phone call, but saying so now serves some value to the administration. Better cuckholding?
A strongly worded letter with $60 Billion.
We have no reason to believe that Iran is trying to dissuade the Houthis from this reckless behavior,” she said.
Total bullsh*t lie.
Problem is that Biden was trying to put to gather a coalition to deal with attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea area and Suez Canal. . England, France, Spain etc refused. I wonder if abandoning them in Iraq was the cause? Funny it doesn’t get much press.
Dealing with the U.S. is fraught with complications in a matter like this. For one thing, the U.S. has no legal or diplomatic justification to protect foreign commercial shipping on the open seas. These countries probably suspected that they were bent enlisted just to do the dirty work the U.S. would not do.
not only is Iran building a bomb, and testing missiles, but it has committed hundreds of acts of war since 1979.
Biden is famous for “Don’t Don’t Don’t”
