This time, the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist organization has seriously damaged a cargo ship near the \u200cArabian Peninsula and even shot down a U.S. drone.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>British maritime authorities reported that the attack on\u2063 the Belize-flagged commercial shipping vessel M\/V \u200dRubymar occurred in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The ship&#8217;s front and engine room were hit by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-china-builds-mockups-of-u-s-navy-ships-for-missile-target-practice\/\" title=\"Report: China Builds Mockups of U.S. Navy Ships for Missile Target Practice\">anti-ship ballistic missiles<\/a>, forcing the crew to abandon the ship due to the damage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Houthis claimed that the ship had suffered catastrophic damage and was \u200dat risk of sinking. The ship&#8217;s\u200b security firm confirmed that it \u2064was taking in water\u200b and that there was nobody on \u200dboard. The successful missile strikes represent a new\u2064 escalation in the region by the Houthis, as it is the first time a crew has been forced to abandon ship due to their terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>According to \u2064U.S. Central Command, two anti-ship ballistic missiles were \u2062launched from Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen towards the\u200b MV Rubymar. One of the missiles struck the vessel, causing damage. The crew\u2062 was transported\u200d to\u200c a \u200cnearby port by another merchant vessel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200ctwo\u200c additional cargo ships, including\u200b one U.S.-owned and one Denmark-owned, were also attacked. The Houthis also claimed to have shot down a\u200b U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone\u200d over Yemen.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The U.S. confirmed that\u200b a drone crashed near Hodeidah, Yemen, but declined to \u2064provide details on\u2063 whether it was shot down or crashed due to another incident. This is not the \u2063first time the Houthis have shot down a U.S. drone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These attacks highlight President Biden&#8217;s repeated failure to use necessary force to prevent and deter aggression. Despite the U.S.\u200d having the \u200bmost powerful military in the world, Biden \u200bhas been hesitant to confront Iran, which is assisting the Houthis in these attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks \u2064are being assisted by Iran&#8217;s Islamic\u200d Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated Foreign \u200cTerrorist\u200c Organization, which provides intelligence and targeting information to the Houthis. In response, the U.S. \u2064conducted a\u2063 cyberattack on an Iranian military vessel that was aiding the Houthis.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that the Houthis\u200b cannot conduct these attacks without Iran&#8217;s direct\u200c assistance. \u200bVice Admiral Brad Cooper confirmed that the IRGC is\u200c inside Yemen,\u200d advising and providing targeting information to the Houthis.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden&#8217;s inability or unwillingness to protect and deter attacks against U.S. interests is concerning, especially as he faces low polling numbers and a potential rematch against former President \u200bDonald Trump in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/did-fda-approve-new-drug-to-help-biden-in-his-2024-re-election-campaign\/\" title=\"FDA Approves New Drug for Biden's 2024 Re-Election?\">upcoming\u2062 presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/houthi-terrorist-missile-came-within-few-seconds-of-hitting-u-s-warship-report\">Houthi Terrorist Missile Came Within Few Seconds Of Hitting U.S. Warship<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET \u200dTHE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s weakness on the world stage is evident in various instances, such as the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the failure to deter Russia from invading Ukraine, \u2062and being \u200cpushed \u2063around by communist China \u200bduring official meetings. Additionally, he has failed to respond forcefully to attacks on U.S. forces in\u200b the Middle East by Iranian-backed terrorist groups\u2064 and has strained relationships with U.S. partners like Saudi Arabia and India.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What measures \u200chas the\u200c Biden administration \u200ctaken to \u2063address the aggression of \u200cthe Houthis, and why have these measures been ineffective?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  O technical issues. However, experts\u200d believe that \u2063the drone was most likely shot \u200ddown by the Houthis as part of their ongoing aggression against American \u200dinterests in the region.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden&#8217;s failure to \u200bprotect American interests on the \u2064world stage is becoming a \u200dpattern. From his mishandling of the border crisis\u2062 to his weak stance on China, Biden has consistently shown a lack of \u2064leadership\u2064 and the\u2064 inability to effectively deter aggression from America&#8217;s enemies.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cIranian-backed \u200cHouthi terrorist organization \u200bposes a significant threat to not only American interests but also regional stability. \u200bTheir attacks on commercial ships and shooting down of U.S. drones demonstrate their brazen disregard for international norms and their \u2062desire to\u200d destabilize the region.<\/p>\n<p>While the Biden administration has imposed sanctions on the Houthis and condemned their actions, these measures have proven to \u200dbe ineffective in deterring their aggression. It is clear\u2063 that stronger action is needed to protect American \u2062interests and\u200b ensure\u2064 the safety of commercial\u2063 shipping in the area.<\/p>\n<p>One possible course of action would\u2063 be for the United States to work with its allies to\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fully-backed-by-iran-terrorists-strike-multiple-cargo-ships-with-missiles-in-red-sea\/\" title=\"Iran-backed terrorists attack cargo ships in Red Sea with missiles\">increase naval presence<\/a> in the region \u200cand provide escorts for commercial ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This would not only serve \u200cas a deterrent to future attacks but also provide \u2063much-needed protection for merchant vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the United States should \u200cconsider imposing stricter sanctions on Iran and its proxies,\u2062 including freezing their assets \u200band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prepare-for-the-worst-fauci-says-travel-bans-wont-stop-omicron-too-early-to-say-if-more-lockdowns-are-coming\/\" title=\"Prepare For The Worst\u2019: Fauci Says Travel Bans Won\u2019t Stop Omicron, Too Early To Say If More Lockdowns Are Coming\">imposing travel bans<\/a> on key individuals. \u200bThese measures would send a clear message that the United States\u200d will not \u2064tolerate aggression from Iran \u200cor its terrorist \u2064proxies.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200bthe Biden \u200cadministration must take a tougher stance\u200b on Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. The recent attacks by\u2062 the Houthi \u2063terrorist organization are\u200b just another \u2062example\u200b of Iran&#8217;s destabilizing activities in the region. By reinstating the Iran nuclear \u2062deal\u2063 without \u200csignificant changes, Biden \u200chas weakened \u2062America&#8217;s position and\u2064 emboldened Iran to continue its aggressive behavior.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u2063President \u2062Biden&#8217;s failure to protect American interests on the world stage is evident in his handling of the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist organization. Their recent attacks on commercial ships and shooting \u200ddown of a U.S. drone \u2062demonstrate the need\u200d for stronger\u200c action to deter their aggression.\u200b The United States must work \u200cwith its allies to increase naval presence in the region, impose stricter sanctions on Iran \u200band its proxies, and take a tougher stance on Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. Failure to do so will only further embolden America&#8217;s enemies and put American interests at risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s failure to safeguard American interests and counter aggression from enemies is evident as the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group inflicted significant damage on a cargo ship near the Arabian Peninsula.
