US Navy confirms Iranian involvement in Yemeni Houthi rebel ship attack
LT. GEN. Keith Kellogg: this is the problem you are having [Biden] management. They have normalized this activity. What I want to say is that if the Iranians Iranian proxy army, attack? We're really not doing anything. Well, after attacks on ships in the Red Sea, attacks on Yemen became limited. If you look at our allies, the Italians and the Spanish, they don't really believe in what we're doing with Operation Prosperity Guardian. The French have gone their own way. If you look at what's happening in the Middle East, China is brokering deals with Iran, and all of this is built into deterrence. And people no longer believe that we're really serious about deterrence. And getting it all back together and back in the box will require a lot of work. Iranians don't believe that. The proxy forces don't believe that. This government is currently in big trouble.
