Reagan sank the entire Iranian navy for mining the Persian Gulf.
Where were the outcries? These are Russian shills.
The Huthies shot missles at US war ships. Biden clearly has an Article 2 responsibility to defend US troops and US shipping from these assholes.
'everyone i disagre with is a russian shill' and other methods of avoiding actual arguments
He gave reasons. You’re the one not bringing anything to the discussion.
Maybe burger empire should start respecting territorial waters of other countries and stop sailing its war ships in Yemeni territory.
The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are both international waters.
Yes this is a useful Wikipedia article. Especially the point just a little past the first line which specifically rebuts the point you are making:
"The territorial sea is sovereign territory, although foreign ships (military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it, or transit passage for straits"
And just to jump ahead to preempt your next argument, innocent passage is defined in the UN convention on the law of the sea here:

Furthermore the Houthis are not making claims that the vessels attacked are violating innocent passage. Only you are for some reason.
Oh hey, could you spell out for us the reason Ansar Allah are disallowing passage for vessels of certain countries through their sovereign waters?
