Are you actually asking?
The Houthi's are an Iranian controlled terrorist organization that have been attacking commercial shipping in the Red Sea since November 2023.
The Houthis have sunk two vessels and killed four crew members, forcing a lot of shipping to Europe to be diverted around the South of Africa.
The US and allies have been fighting the Iranian-backed Houthis for over a decade, this is just a recent resurgence following the war in Israel.

Sure bro.
That justified blowing up the apartment building the target's girlfriend lived in.
Because it doesn't just make more Houthis every time.
That may be true, but there is one consistent lesson we can learn from US history.
Don't. Touch. The. Boats.
Why are you responding to tragedy with a fucking meme
Because it's a great way to summarise this ridiculous situation.

Iran did something similar in the late 80's. Iran began to mine the Persian Gulf, international waters, as part of the Iran-Iraq war threatening oil shipments passing through.
An Iranian mine struck an American warship escorting an oil tanker. Prompting the Americans to bomb the fuck out of the Iranian navy. Don't want to be bombed? Don't attack American warships in international shipping lanes.
Especially with this racist and blood thirsty regime that doesn't give a fuck about silly things like "civilian casualties".
