Biden U-turns on Houthi terrorists — now reverse Iran appeasement
NY Post
After long weeks of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, the Biden team on Wednesday finally put the outfit back on the US list of foreign terror groups — even as it still refuses to confront Iran for handing the Houthis the weapons to attack.
This, when two Navy SEALs were lost in the recent mission off the Somali coast that seized stocks of Iran-made missiles and cruise-missile components on their way to the Houthis in Yemen — fresh proof that Tehran is enabling the attack on global supply chains.
US Central Command chief Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla noted: “It is clear that Iran continues shipment of advanced lethal aid to the Houthis,” in “direct violation of UN Security Resolution 2216 and international law.”
Yet all the White House will allow (after months of attacks) is minor strikes to “degrade” the Houthis’ capabilities.
As for Iranians, the prez apparently sent them a stiff note: “We delivered it privately,” Biden said last Friday.
Whatever threats that might have included, what reason does Tehran have to believe them?
