    The Islamic Republic of Iran was behind a series of terrorist attacks on commercial cargo ships in the Red Sea on Sunday, the U.S. Military said in a statement.

    U.S. Central Command said that there were several attacks in international waters against three separate commercial vessels. The ships were connected to 14 different countries.

    "At approximately 9:15 a.m. Sanaa time, the CARNEY detected an anti-ship ballistic missile attack fired from Houthi controlled areas of Yemen toward the M/V UNITY EXPLORER, impacting in the vicinity of the vessel," CENTCOM said.

    Approximately three hours later, at 12:00 p.m., the Carney "engaged and shot down a UAV launched from Houthi controlled areas in Yemen" that was headed toward the Carney.

    "In a separate attack at approximately 12:35 p.m., UNITY EXPLORER reported they were struck by a missile fired from Houthi controlled areas in Yemen," CENTCOM said. "CARNEY responded to the distress call. While assisting with the damage assessment, CARNEY detected another inbound UAV, destroying the drone with no damage or injuries on the CARNEY or UNITY EXPLORER. UNITY EXPLORER reports minor damage from the missile strike."

    "At approximately 3:30 p.m. the M/V NUMBER 9 was struck by a missile fired from Houthi controlled areas in Yemen while operating international shipping lanes in the Red Sea," the statement added. "At approximately 4:30 p.m., the M/V SOPHIE II, sent a distress call stating they were struck by a missile. ... While en route to render support, CARNEY shot down a UAV headed in its direction."

    The statement concluded by saying that while the U.S. knows that the attacks were launched by Houthi terrorists in Yemen, the attacks were "fully enabled by Iran."

    "The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners," the statement said.

    The attacks come after multiple commercial shipping vessels have been attacked in recent weeks, including one that was hijacked by Houthi terrorists and its crew taken hostage.

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"
