The Phalanx \u200bCIWS, described by \u200bthe U.S.\u200b Navy as a \u200dfast-reaction, radar-guided\u200d 20-millimeter gun weapon system,\u200c successfully neutralized the threat.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, U.S.\u200d destroyers in\u2064 the area intercept these missiles at a range of eight miles or more. However, this was the first time the USS Gravely had to employ \u2063its CIWS\u200d against\u2063 Houthi missiles, marking a significant defensive achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the high speed \u200bof cruise missiles, the fact\u2062 that it came within a mile of the ship indicates that impact \u200dwas only seconds away.<\/p>\n<h3>Response to Recent Attacks<\/h3>\n<p>This incident follows the tragic \u200bmurder of three\u2062 U.S. soldiers and the injury \u2064of nearly three dozen more in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daily-feed-1-30-24\/\" title=\"Daily Feed 30\/01\/24\">suicide\u2062 drone attack<\/a> on a U.S. military base\u200b in \u2064Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden\u200c has expressed his intention\u2063 to respond to these deadly attacks, but as of now, no military action has been taken.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE \u200dTO\u2064 GET\u200b THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wow, the \u200bUSS Gravely had to use its Phalanx CIWS \u200bagainst a Houthi cruise missile per a U.S. official to CNN.<\/p>\n<p>This\u200d is essentially the ship&#8217;s last layer of defense against any incoming attacks.<\/p>\n<p>(The video below shows one in action!) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I1SYYydbbZ\">pic.twitter.com\/I1SYYydbbZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Global: Military-Info \u2063(@Global_Mil_Info) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Global_Mil_Info\/status\/1752786864900108547?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January\u200b 31, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What measures \u2063can the international community take to address the\u200d root causes of the conflict\u2062 in Yemen and\u2063 alleviate the suffering of\u200d the Yemeni\u2063 people<\/h2>\n<p><span>  P-houthi-missile-attack-intl\/index.html&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; rel=&#8221;noopener&#8221;>reported<\/a> \u200cthat \u200bthe missile\u2063 attack on the U.S. warship in the Red\u200d Sea took place on January 30th, 2024. The USS Gravely was\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-the-u-s-navy-needs-to-be-in-the-south-china-sea\/\" title=\"Why the U.S. Navy Needs to Be in the South China Sea\">conducting routine operations<\/a> in the area when it detected the incoming\u2063 threat. The ship&#8217;s crew immediately activated their \u200cdefense systems to\u200c neutralize the danger.<\/p>\n<p>This incident once again highlights \u200dthe ongoing threat\u2064 posed by\u2063 Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The Houthi rebels, who have been engaged in a protracted conflict with the Yemeni government and \u2063its allies, including Saudi Arabia and the \u200cUnited States, have repeatedly\u200b targeted international shipping and threatened regional stability.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian regime&#8217;s support for the Houthi rebels \u200dis part of\u2063 its broader strategy\u200b to extend its influence in the region and challenge the interests of its adversaries. By supplying the Houthis with\u2064 advanced weaponry, including missiles capable of targeting naval vessels, Iran is exacerbating the already volatile situation in Yemen \u200band increasing the risk of a wider escalation of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The successful interception of \u200bthe Houthi missile by \u2063the USS Gravely is a \u200btestament to the effectiveness of the ship&#8217;s defensive capabilities and the professionalism of its crew. The Phalanx\u200d CIWS is a rapid-fire, radar-guided weapon system \u200cthat provides close-range defense \u200bagainst airborne threats. Its ability to\u2064 neutralize incoming missiles \u200dand aircraft in a matter of seconds saved the USS Gravely from potential destruction.<\/p>\n<p>The United States, along with its international partners, has consistently condemned Iran&#8217;s support for\u200c the Houthi rebels and called for an end to the flow of \u200cweapons into Yemen. The interception of this missile serves as a reminder that\u2062 the international community must remain vigilant in countering Iran&#8217;s destabilizing \u200bactions\u200d in the region.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the Houthi missile attack, the U.S. has reiterated its\u200d commitment to ensuring freedom of navigation and protecting \u2063its interests in the Red Sea and other international waterways. The U.S. Central Command has emphasized \u2063that it\u2062 will not hesitate to \u200cdefend itself and its allies against any threats emanating from the Houthi-controlled areas of\u2063 Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>This incident should also serve as a\u2064 wake-up \u200ccall to\u2062 the international community to address the root causes\u200b of \u200dthe\u2064 conflict in Yemen. The war has \u2062resulted in a significant humanitarian crisis, \u200dwith millions of Yemeni civilians suffering from food shortages, disease, and displacement. \u2064Efforts to find a political solution\u200c to the conflict and alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people must be prioritized.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the recent Houthi missile attack on a U.S. warship in the Red \u200dSea \u2062underscores the ongoing \u2063threat posed by Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen. The interception of \u200cthe\u200c missile by the USS Gravely highlights the importance\u2064 of robust defense\u2062 systems in countering such attacks. The international community must continue to condemn \u2063Iran&#8217;s support for the Houthi rebels and work \u2064towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Yemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Iranian-backed Houthi missile narrowly missed a U.S. warship in the Red Sea.
