U.S. Navy Destroyers Repel Houthi Missile and Drone Barrage in Bab-el-Mandeb Strait

Mike Schuler November 12, 2024

 

Two U.S. Navy destroyers successfully fended off a significant multi-pronged attack while navigating the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait on Monday.

 

Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed the incident on Tuesday, stating that the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Spruance repelled a barrage of drones and missiles, including “at least eight one-way attack uncrewed aerial systems (UAVs), five anti-ship ballistic missiles, and three anti-ship cruise missiles.”

 

The coordinated assault, which occurred on November 11, was thwarted without any damage to the vessels or injuries to personnel. “The vessels were not damaged. No personnel were hurt,” Ryder said.

 

This incident comes in the wake of claims by Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree, who reported operations targeting two U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea and the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. However, Ryder did not confirm any incidents involving the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Central Command reported that aircraft from USS Abraham Lincoln supported operations against Iran-backed Houthis in the area, though specific details were not provided.

 

“CENTCOM forces retain the inherent right of self-defense and will take appropriate steps to protect our personnel,” Ryder added.

 

For nearly a year, Iranian-backed Houthis have carried out numerous drone and missile strikes on commercial shipping and naval forces in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. These attacks—purportedly in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict—have forced shipping companies to reroute vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in longer voyages and increased shipping costs.

Biden Signs Electoral Count Reform Act Into Law

By Mac Brower January 3, 2023

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022, President Joe Biden signed S. 4573, a bipartisan bill to reform the antiquated Electoral Count Act (ECA), into law. The bill was included in the omnibus spending package to fund the federal government this year.

 

S.4573, the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act, is designed to reform the process by which Congress counts Electoral College votes to avoid a repeat of the events of Jan. 6, 2021. The law Clarifies that the role of the vice president is purely ceremonial,

 

Raises the threshold for members of Congress to initiate objections to electoral results to one-fifth of each chamber,

 

Ensures there is one conclusive slate of electors from each state

 

And outlines a process for expedited court review of election results.

 

In September, the Senate Rules Committee additionally amended the law to

 

Make U.S. Supreme Court review of any federal litigation over the certification of state electors discretionary rather than mandatory,

 

Ensure the judicial review procedure provided in the act doesn’t exclude litigation in other state and federal courts

 

And clarify the language around certification of electors to specify that during the counting of electoral college votes, Congress must treat the electors certified by a state and modified by any state or federal court relief as conclusive.

 

Reforming the ECA is seen as a critical step to preventing another event like the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, then-President Donald Trump and his supporters exploited the ECA to fuel his attempts to overturn the results. The ambiguity around the vice president’s role under the ECA fueled the pressure campaign on then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject valid electoral college votes and the ECA’s counting procedures inspired Trump supporters to pressure Republican members of Congress to object to the electoral votes of several states.
