The disastrous policies of the Biden administration continue to embolden our enemies in the Middle East, with yet another attack on the United States military taking place on Wednesday night. Multiple missiles were fired at the USS Carney, a U.S. Navy destroyer off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea, as our armed forces remain on high alert due to the recent deadly attack by the Iran-backed Hamas terror group on innocent Israelis.
According to reports, the missiles fired at the USS Carney were launched by Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who have continuously shown their aggression towards the U.S. and our allies. This brazen attack is just the latest in a string of incidents instigated by Iran and its proxies, who continue to feel emboldened by the weak and appeasing stance of the Biden administration.
Pentagon Press Secretary, Brigadier General Pat Ryder has Confirmed that the USS Carney did Shoot Down 3 Land-Attack Cruise Missiles as well as several Drones launched by Houthi Forces in Yemen last night over the Red Sea.

Despite the gravity of the situation and the constant threat posed by Iran and its proxies, the Biden administration continues to turn a blind eye, refusing to take decisive action to protect our forces in the Middle East. This is highlighted by the fact that the USS Carney had only just entered the Red Sea a day before, and was sailing there to simply “ensure maritime security and stability in the region,” according to a tweet by US Fleet Forces.

But this is just the latest in a series of concerning actions by the Biden administration, which has failed to take a strong stance against Iran and its proxies, instead choosing to appease them and bolster their confidence. Just last week, the U.S. sent two aircraft carriers, support ships, and thousands of Marines to the Middle East, ostensibly to provide support and protect our national security interests. Yet, even with this significant show of force, the White House insists there are no plans to use it in any way to combat the aggression of Iran and its proxies.

In the face of such blatant aggression and provocation, the U.S. must be swift and decisive in how we respond. However, the Pentagon is now claiming that the missiles launched by the Iranian-backed terrorist group were “potentially” directed at Israel.

This only further highlights the dire consequences of the weak and ineffectual foreign policies of the Biden administration, which has only emboldened our enemies and put our national security at risk. It is time for the administration to wake up and take a strong stance against Iran and its proxies, or the situation in the Middle East will only continue to escalate.
