US threatens ‘appropriate responses’ after Iran-backed assault on commercial ships
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on December 4, 2023
While the attacks were carried out by Houthis, the U.S. has “every reason to believe” they were “fully enabled by Iran,” according to the release. “The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners.”
The language is an explicit threat to Iran that the U.S. may retaliate to the attacks, which are just the latest in the region in recent weeks. Iran-backed militants have also attacked U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria at least 74 times since Oct. 17 . . .
