Will achieve nothing, air attacks against some jihadis, without boots on the ground...will not deter or stop them.

Iran is the puppet master that needs hitting.

The Saudis, with UK support, have been bombing the Houthis for years with little apparent impact. Wonder what will change now?

Fundamentally, it's impossible for the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden / Gulf of Oman to be 'safe' if the locals don't want it to be. Iran is more than capable of completely blocking Persian Gulf, and via proxies, likely Red Sea too.

They will find out tonight imagine thinking you can get away being pirates and constantly launching missiles all the time with no comeback.

I expect this to be a step-up from the existing Saudi led effort, US cruise missile and carrier strikes en-masse against known Houthi sites/terror camps perhaps?

I love them calling them "stealth jets" as if they're going to need stealth!

"British drones equipped with lethal RX-9 were also primed, it is understood."

What the hell is RX-9? Are they dropping future Mazdas?

Just googled what the biggest religion in Yemen is... Yep no surprise.

Very little seems to be heard about Somali pirates these days after the US and allies adopted a sink the boat and let them swim home policy. Threatening the West's oil supplies is not a good career plan.

Surely we could just drop cars that have been scrapped due to the ULEZ zone?

Can already see Evris leadership’s reaction when they realise they have delivered these strikes to the next door neighbour… They are going to be like “oman” what have we done.

It's been a whole five minutes since the last time the notorious western duo poured military forces into the middle east...
