An American warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack Sunday in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said. Yemen’s Houthi rebels later claimed attacks on two ships they described as being linked to Israel, but did not acknowledge targeting a U.S. Navy vessel.
The attack potentially marked a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
“We’re aware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available,” the Pentagon told The Associated Press.

Was it a direct attack on the carney? or did drones get close and were shot down. If it's the latter, it has happened multiple times already in the Red Sea.
@PersistentChowder6mos6MO
Iran, through their proxies the Houthis, are trying to block the Bab el Mandeb strait (southern entrance to the Red Sea), one of the world’s most important shipping lanes.
@EgalitarianGelding6mos6MO
They're right to do it
@R3gulationSam6mos6MO
Don’t cry later about the consequences that they suffer as a result of their actions.
@EgalitarianGelding6mos6MO
It’s the people that will suffer that we care about. Not the militants
@ThriftyClam6mos6MO
American military strategy and response shouldn’t be political. Yet it changes greatly from administration to administration. Some things should just be understood to always be the same, such as, “attack us and we attack back”
@9HDC5QFRepublican6mos6MO
Our president is allowing this to happen.
@9HDCQ7P6mos6MO
seems more important than the chinese thing or newsom, newsom is the california guy and californians can deal with him while investors can deal with the chinese economic crisis
@9HDJSWR6mos6MO
Something should be done about the attack on our ship
@9HDBV726mos6MO
It is bad that countries still fight after so much advancements in other aspects.

An American warship and numerous commercial vessels came under fire in the Red Sea on Sunday, prompting the warship to open fire in self-defense. This marks another incident of escalation in the Middle East connected to the Israel-Hamas war, which is approaching two months of fighting.
@9HDD8PXIndependent6mos6MO
Iran through their proxy Yemen is at war against us.

@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Should the US respond to an attack on a warship with further aggression, or should there be another approach?
@92VHLQ8Constitution6mos6MO
No, the US should not have any warships in the Middle East
