USA should not get in a war with Iran and other countries. USA present Administration has been helping supporting Iran already.
Iran uses funds to support HAMAS and other Terrorists groups.
Which are all USA enemies.

When US and UK decided to launched middle strikes in Yemen it was done without Congress and Parliament approval. Warmongers are escalating the tension in the Middle East. Am sure the Red Sea shipping attacks by Houthis? could of been handle differently if cool heads prevail. Nope it's not going to stop there. Like I said in a different post the Ukraine/Russia conflict is the beginning of the end. Btw,other allies are involved not just US and UK.

I don't think the US and UK had much of a choice, the Houthis had attacked both unarmed merchant ships and warships trying to protect them with missiles and drones. Let's not forget they were given many warnings over several days to stop these attacks or face the consequences. Freedom of navigation in international waters is a global agreement in law. Iran is escalating the tension in continuing to supply the Houthis with these weapons and training in how to use them when they can see how they are being used to attack unarmed merchant shipping, and the piracy of ships and their cargos.

Hamas is not a terrorist because Hamas defends the rights of the Palestinians that were taken away by Israel. America and Britain help terrorists.

Yemen prevents ships going to Israel. Yemen want to stop Israel's war of genocide in Gaza and end the siege. It is shameful for large countries like the United States and Britain to call themselves democratic countries and strike a small country like Yemen with their air forces. Why don't America, Britain and others put pressure on Israel to end the siege and war on Gaza?

The well-known British cartoonist, Bob Moran, was subjected to harsh attacks and accusations of "anti-Semitism" because of a cartoon in which he criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Moran published a cartoon showing Netanyahu sitting at a table filled with the remains of children and infants, while US President Joe Biden stands next to him in a waiter’s uniform, pouring blood instead of drink. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also appears carrying a covered plate for Netanyahu, with a child’s hand hanging from it in the air, while above the artwork is the phrase “Kosher,” a Hebrew word meaning “permissible” food!

So the question is....Have we come to the point in international relations when dealing with aggression where after given many warnings over several days
to stop these attacks or face consequences US and UK just pick up planes and fly them over to bomb a country? Who military heads advising these
governments? China has now ask Iran to rein in the Houthi. Was America behind that or did China took the initiative to be the peace maker. One wonders.

In the UK the decision to attack Houthis military sites in Yemen was taken at the highest level by the Prime Minister. If the UK were to go to war with the Houthis it would require the approval of the full UK Parliament, but that isn't going to happen in my opnion.

In the UK press, many have voiced the opinion the Chinese are concerned about how these attacks affect global trade. China cannot sell their products in to Europe if ships are not going to take the goods from China to Europe economically. The Shipping costs are rapidly increasing by insurance costs and the extra costs of fuel in sailing a further 6000 nautical miles around the 'Cape of Good Hope' to reach Europe, avoiding the route through the Red Sea. That is the main reason China has asked Iran to rein in the Houthis, they want to continue to trade with Europe.

So a cooler head has prevail. Doesn't matter if it is because China has is own economic interests at heart. What was done last should have been done first. Tell China it is in their best interests to speak to Iran concerning the Houthi if they want to continue to trade with Europe.

Sadly, after statements from many world leaders the attacks on unarmed shipping continue, the Houthis have their own agenda in not wanting to listen to anyone in my opinion, piracy and ransom plays a part in all this.

The main reason for attacking ships going to Israel and ships from America and the United Kingdom is the continuation of the genocidal war against the Palestinians and the continuation of the economic blockade as well. The second reason is the American-British bombing of Yemen. Do not ignore the actual reasons and imagine that the Houthis' work is piracy.

Me and many others want to see the war stopped and more aid to enter Gaza which is desperately needed. The Houthis attacking and harming innocent unarmed seafarers for any reason whatsoever is despicable behaviour in my opinion, but you seem to believe it is a good thing the Houthis are doing in attacking shipping. The Houthis piracy and attacks are against International Law of Freedom of Navigation, they are breaking International law and are being punished for it by many nations. Even the government of Yemen condemns the Houthis actions.

Nope.

1. Any merchant ship/country connected to Israel will be attacked by the Houthi in retaliation to the Israel bombardment of Hamas.

2. Any Western strikes against Houthi military sites will be met with missile attacks on Red Sea shipping.

It's a vicious cycle. Houthi will stop when Israel stops and Israel has no intention of stopping anytime soon until Hamas is taken out. (And over the weekend, a British merchant ship was attacked).

It's vicious cycle.

America seized a ship carrying Iranian oil and unloaded its cargo in Texas. Isn't this piracy? Where is international law in this work? Or does international law apply to small countries only?
Yemen prevents ships going to Israel and demands that Yemen stop Israel's war of genocide in Gaza and end the siege. This is not piracy.

Nothing Israel has done is genocide.
That is what Iran and all the other Countries that hate Israel wants to do to Israel.
Your comments here are like something that Hamas would say.
Iran does everything against Israel. They are the pirates.

South Africa filed the case in the International Court of Justice, asking it to impose emergency measures to stop the fighting that has claimed the lives of more than 26,000 Palestinians.
More than 600 lawyers and human rights organizations around the world submitted a file to the International Criminal Court in The Hague to prosecute Israeli officials on charges of committing genocide in Gaza.
The United Nations International Court of Justice asked Israel to “prevent and punish incitement to genocide against Palestinians,” as part of its initial ruling.
What does the decision mean?
Experts in international law say: “The court’s decision obligates Israel to lift the blockade on basic supplies, such as medicine, water, and food, which is very important for people who are dying of hunger, in addition to obligating Israel to implement other requests received from the court.”

Israel Gaza: UN warning that aid system could collapse if UNRWA funding is withheld


Top UN officials have warned that the withdrawal of funding for its main aid agency in Gaza could lead to the "collapse of the humanitarian system".

They spoke out after the US, UK and other countries halted funding over the alleged role of some UN staff in the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel.

The UN sacked several of its staff over the allegations.

It said an investigation into its agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is underway.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described UNRWA as "perforated with Hamas", saying Israel has "discovered that there were 13 UNRWA workers who actually participated, either directly or indirectly, in the 7 October massacre".

But the US, the biggest donor to the UNWRA, has said it wants to see the aid agency continue its work.
