I wonder how nervous the crew on that one Iranian destroyer is right now. What if the ship the Houthis claim to have sunk was Iranian?

Iran moves warship to Red Sea after US destroys Houthi boats

by Brad Dress - 01/02/24 9:52 AM ET

Iran this week moved a warship to the Red Sea in what could be an escalation in the Middle East as the U.S. battles the Iranian-backed Houthis in the region and recently sunk three boats.

The Iranian Alborz destroyer passed the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Monday before it entered the Red Sea, according to Iranian state media outlet Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

State media did not report what the Iranian warship would be doing in the Red Sea, but noted the deployment comes amid rising tensions across the Middle East as the Israel-Hamas war rages.

The Iranian warship will at the very least ruffle the feathers of the U.S. and its new maritime coalition tasked with defending the Red Sea from the Houthis in Yemen.

But Tehran’s destroyer could also pose a more direct threat if Iran decides to intervene in any conflict between the U.S. and the Houthis.

In addition to spearheading a task force to defend against the Houthis, the U.S. has several ships deployed to the eastern Mediterranean near the Red Sea to prevent a wider conflict from breaking out as Israel battles the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

The Houthis, who say they are targeting Israeli-based ships or boats headed to Israel, attacked and then attempted to board another vessel owned by container shipping giant Maersk on Sunday.

After receiving a distress call, the U.S. thwarted the assault by sinking three of the boats with helicopters.

A senior Houthi official said the U.S. attack on their force’s naval assets killed 10 soldiers and was a major escalation, vowing to retaliate, according to IRNA.

Houthi rebels have plagued the Red Sea since the Israel-Hamas war broke out, firing sometimes a dozen rockets at U.S. ships. They seized a merchant ship in November and damaged another one last month.

The U.S. task force, made up of several nations primarily in Europe and the Western world, seeks to deter the Houthi threat by patrolling the Red Sea and defending merchant ships, many of which have canceled trips through the transit corridor near Yemen, hiking up prices.

It’s not clear if the task force will lower the intensity of the battling, as the Houthis have pledged to keep up the pace of attacks. But Israel has moved to reduce its military presence in Gaza, bending to U.S. pressure after nearly three months of war, which may reduce Middle East tensions.

Video shows that ship has a pennant number of D21 on the stern

USN ships only have their hull numbers painted, and only the ship's name at the stern

>>20229184

So far I've looked up Royal Navy, French Navy, Netherlands Navy, and even checked on the Iranian ship

So far no luck identifying Pennant D21 as active ship

>>20229185

Wasn't there some warnings like that about New Year's Eve?

>>20229175 (me)

End of that same vid shows a carrier, but only one with that kind of island is the Gerald Ford, and she is supposed to be headed home as of days ago

And yeah, kinda neat how the antenna dome on the "D21" suddenly vanishes. Doesn't fragment, doesn't fall off, doesn't fly away, just poof and gone

Maritime sites are starting to pick up on it

US and UK Strike Houthis Over Attacks on Shipping

By Jennifer Jacobs, Tony Capaccio and Courtney McBride (Bloomberg) — January 11, 2024

The US and its allies launched airstrikes on more than a dozen Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, escalating a conflict with an Iranian proxy in response to a string of attacks that have disrupted commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

“These targeted strikes are a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most critical commercial routes,” President Joe Biden said in a statement.

American and British forces struck radar installations and storage and launch sites for drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, according to US officials, who asked not to be identified discussing operational details. The attacks came from Air Force jets and fighter jets based on the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier, as well as Tomahawk missiles launched from a submarine and surface ships.

On Jan. 11 at 2:30 a.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command forces, in coordination with the United Kingdom, and support from Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Bahrain conducted joint strikes on Houthi targets to degrade their capability to continue their illegal and… pic.twitter.com/bR8biMolSx

The strikes were intended to cripple the militant group’s ability to attack commercial vessels following Houthi barrages of drones and missiles fired into a vital trade waterway. Biden said Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands provided what a US official called non-operational support.

Thursday night’s action marks a significant escalation in the weeks since Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and Israeli forces responded with a devastating air and ground campaign in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis began their harassment of commercial vessels soon after and have vowed not to let up until Israel ends its assault on Gaza.

The strikes took place hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken ended a trip through the Middle East that was aimed in part at getting support for more aggressive action toward the Houthis, as he insisted “there will have to be consequences” if the attacks at sea persisted. Earlier Thursday, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden, in what US officials said was the 27th attack on commercial shipping by the group since Nov. 19.

Global crude oil benchmark Brent moved higher by almost 2% to match the move in West Texas Intermediate following the strikes in Yemen.

Heavy explosions were reported in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a and the port city of Al Hudaydah. The target sites were assessed as having no civilians nearby, one of the officials said, adding that early indications suggested the impact on the Houthis’ ability to launch future attacks was significant.

The strikes embroil the US in yet another fight with an Iranian proxy, after US forces launched attacks in Syria and Iraq in recent weeks in a bid to quash Iranian-supported militias that had launched drones and missiles at US bases — so far without major casualties. The Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement condemned the strikes and urged “the people of the Arab and Islamic nation to take action.”

Deterring the Houthis for good won’t be easy. The group, which took control of the Yemeni capital Sana’a in 2014, has successfully withstood a Saudi Arabia-led military campaign to oust it that began a year later, and remains firmly entrenched. Previous efforts to deter attacks have also failed. Late last month, the US spearheaded the creation of a maritime task force — dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian — whose goal was to provide security for vessels transiting the Red Sea.

In a televised speech earlier Thursday, Houthi leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi vowed a “big” response to the US and its allies if they proceeded with military action against his group.

“We’ll confront the American aggression,” he said. “Any American attack won’t go unpunished.”

But the extensive airstrikes are also a gamble for the US, which has repeatedly said a top priority amid the Israel-Hamas fighting is to keep the conflict from spreading into a bigger regional war. The US and its allies went ahead despite concerns from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other nations in the region that strikes would only further inflame tensions.
