In a statement, President Biden didn't mention the role of Iran in supporting these Houthi attacks. Nor did he order the U.S. military to hit any Iranian targets, including an Iranian spy ship that was providing intelligence and targeting information to Iran's Houthi allies.
Yet again the Biden administration stepped away from a direct fight with Tehran. This weakness will only embolden Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. Already, he has escalated: Iran's proxies targeted a U.S. Navy warship and an American commercial ship, and Iran itself fired missiles near the U.S. consulate in Erbil, Iraq, killing Kurdish civilians.
