Analysis
- Video: Iran Observer - To be honest, if the Houthis decide to capture a ship, there's not much the US can do. For example, they captured the Galaxy Leader far away from Yemen's borders, and the US destroyer near the Suez Canal did not intervene
- @Megatron_Ron - Why does no one dare to touch the Houthis? Because they have ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones which, as we have already seen, reach Israel without problems despite the 6 US ships with anti-aircraft systems. This is a clear indication that the Houthis have broken through the US air defenses and can easily target, burn and destroy the oil platforms in Saudi Arabia, which feed Israel and the west with oil.
