Nuclear Iran

Put a butt load of Ex-Special Forces on board with weapons.
Shoot the bastums dead on any attempt to board.
International Laws? Screw that since no one follows them.

Law says I can't shoot someone breaking into my house here.
But guess what? Break in and your a dead man.
Given the neighbors don't here the shots? The body would never be found.

It's going to be Saudi-Arabia who will be the first country to feel the wrath from Iran's nuclear bombs.

I don't think Israel is in danger. Not if Israel start a preemptive strike on Iran.

What's Going on With Shipping? Dec 4, 2023 In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - discusses the four attacks on three commercial ships (Unity Explorer, Number 9, and AOM Sophie II) in the Red Sea, near the Bab el-Mandeb, along with the destroyer USS Carney on December 3, 2023. These follow the capture of Galaxy Leader and the attempted seizure of Central Park.

Salute to the USS Carney, sailing in harms way


The USS Carney Sails Alone
The USS Carney (DDG-64) again answered the distress calls from endangered shipping vessels. In fact, it was this time last week that I was writing about the Carney swatting missiles and drones pouring forth from Houthi-occupied Yemen, an Iran-backed movement and territory. Why is it that only the Carney is doing the work? I couldn’t say. The venerable destroyer is part of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, so presumably, other hulls are nearby. However, after a quick search, most of the strike group is visiting Souda Bay, Greece, catching some rays and chilling on the beach, while the Carney sweats it out dodging missiles in the waters between Yemen and Somalia. The short end of the stick doesn’t even come close to describing that arrangement. The Biden administration should probably work on explaining why these launch sites aren’t seeing explosive visitation because, leaving aside a U.S. warship needing to defend itself, the civilian vessels have no connection whatsoever to the Israel–Hamas conflict.

Who are the Houthis and why hasn’t the US retaliated for their attacks on ships in the Middle East?

so far, the U.S. has avoided military retaliation — a marked difference from its multiple strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria that have fired rockets, missiles and drones at bases housing American forces in both countries.

Defending the lack of retaliation for those attacks has forced U.S. officials to dance on the head of a pin.

WHO ARE THE HOUTHIS AND WHAT’S GOING ON IN YEMEN

Houthi rebels swept down from their northern stronghold in Yemen and seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014, launching a grinding war. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 to try to restore Yemen’s exiled, internationally recognized government to power.

Years of bloody, inconclusive fighting against the Saudi-led coalition settled into a stalemated proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, causing widespread hunger and misery in Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country. The war has killed more than 150,000 people, including fighters and civilians, and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters, killing tens of thousands more.

A cease-fire that technically ended more than a year ago is still largely being honored. Saudi Arabia and the rebels have done some prisoner swaps, and a Houthi delegation was invited to high-level peace talks in Riyadh in September as part of a wider détente the kingdom has reached with Iran. While they reported “positive results,” there is still no permanent peace.
