Daily Mail: USS Thomas Hudner shoots down drone launched from Yemen over the Red Sea in act of self-defense
USS Thomas Hudner shot down a drone sent by the Houthis, a terrorist force backed by Iran, after it approached the destroyer:
The official confirmed that the drone originated in Yemen and was heading toward the ship, which was operating in international waters. It's unclear whether the drone was armed or how close it came to the ship before being shot down.
The incident follows a wave of drone and missile attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria, launched by Iran's proxy militias in retaliation for America's support of Israel in its war against Hamas.
In Yemen, Iran backs and supplies the Houthis, a Shiite faction that has been at war against a Saudi-led Sunni coalition in the country since 2015.
Iran has been busy with its proxies attacking and sending missiles and drones at American soldiers and sailors. Nor is this the first occasion it has done so.
So, what does Biden and the Arabist Pro-Iranian US State Department do in response to these attacks?
Legal Insurrection: Biden Administration Renews Sanctions Waiver, Opening $10 Billion to Iran from Iraq
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the decision-making process, said Blinken signed the waiver mainly because the administration doesn’t want to cut Iraq off from a critical source of energy.
But, they said the administration is confident Iran will not be able to use any of the money for nefarious purposes. They said a rigorous vetting process is in place to ensure that the cash can only be used for food, medicine, medical equipment and agricultural goods.
Yes and if you can keep a straight face after reading and believe that last paragraph, the check is in the mail, and there's just a darling bridge for sale in Brooklyn just waiting for you.
Note that this is on top of the $6 Billion paid to Iran for 5 US-Iranian hostages.
You really can't make this up.

I expect Joe Biden to have to take medical leave soon, to have all the splinters removed from his backside from so much fence sitting.
He is doing his level best to appease muslim & Jewish voters at the same time.
Talking tough on Hamas while giving them more money (through Iran)
Guess we're paying a newer generation of the Barbary Pirates. Wish we had someone with the cojones to give them the same treatment we gave their ancestors.
I am not one given to cursing and profanity as you well know, but Obama and his sock puppet Joe pull it out of me almost before I realize I'm doing it, no matter what the issue. I have to turn off whatever media I'm using at the moment just to maintain some semblance of self control.
