I guess getting blown up in Ukraine wasn't enough for the Iranians, now they wanna get blown up in Yemen too

Commanders and advisors from Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are on the ground in Yemen and playing a direct role in Houthi rebel attacks on commercial traffic in the Red Sea.

Go ahead, lie to yourself, cus no one else believes that BS.
I'm sorry, but I still don't care. Absolutely nothing justifies the barbaric escalation that Hamas brought about. They deserve everything they get. I am sorry that civilians are getting in the way, but I am afraid that's what happens when you start a war. It's horrible, but Hamas can not be allowed to do that again.
Israel is doing what has to be done. It is tragic, but there really is no other way.

Iran keeps getting away with it's "stirring" in that region. I for one will not care much if a few Iranian troops get bomber in Yemen.
It's hardly stirring it, South Africans called it with the genocide accusation, someone has to be on the palestinians side,
whilst Rishi and parrot(pieces of 8) Keir are saying UK force intervention has nothing to do with Israel, their heads stuck in the sand.

Very catchy song I hope the lyrics are not horrendous.

errmmm no they could stop but money and land say they can't ... it's not a war if they can't fight back .. those gas reserves are very tempting aren't they ... this is nothing to do with Hamas this is money and land .. nothing more .. Israel has turned Nazi
They've done that before, it's just an excuse for Khamenei to calm things down without looking weak.
If they did that, they are stupider than they look. It will rally the US, even Trump supporters.
Where is that being reported, would be quite an escalation.

Yep it looks like they had others targets and some of them landed nearby to the consulate.

Leftists have now decided that slavery is OK when the Houthis do it.
The support, or even psuedo support of radical islamic groups by the far left is one of the most perplexing things about their ideology. Radical/Orthodox Islam pushes laws and values that are the complete antithesis of everything the left stands for.
I understand that innocent civilians being caught in the crossfire of all this is deeply sad, but these people (Hamas, Houthis etc), are objectively horrendous people with awful ideologies. I have no doubt that they would murder us all in the west if they had the capability to do so with no recourse. This means that whilst these conflicts are horrible, they are necessary.
Think a lot of them think the UK and US are actively supporting Israel against the Palestinians and so far aren't calling for a ceasfire, and many have a rather dim view (being polite) of that. That's completely up for debate - what isn't, is the fact they fallen hook line and sinker believing that a) Houthis = Yemen b) That they are only stopping Israeli ships, those owned by, or those going to Israel. What doesn't really help in these situations is the fairly recent past of the UK and US meddling in the Middle East.. but on the specific point about Yemen.. they've completely lost the plot.
Greek ship has been hit now:
Red Sea attacks: Greek vessel hit by missile fired by Houthi rebels
Yemen's Houthi rebels say they struck the vessel with missiles, but only minor damage is reported.
