Holy shit, this takes me back.   I wrote the CONOPS for escort operations in the BAM back in ‘03 with the Nimitz Strike Group.  The Commodore put his name on it, but I wrote it.  We decided that

Houthis knock out underwater cables linking Europe to Asia - report  The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.

Four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been struck out of commission in recent months, presumably as a result of attacks by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, according to an exclusive report in the Israeli news site Globes.

The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.

Most of the immediate harm will be absorbed by the Gulf states and India, Globes said. The AAE-1 cable connects East Asia to Europe via Egypt, connecting China to the West through countries such as Pakistan and Qatar.  The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India.  The Seacom cable connects Europe, Africa, and India, and is connected to South Africa.

Ship hit last week sank.

ADEN, Yemen, March 2 (Reuters) - The UK-owned Rubymar, attacked by Houthi militants last month, has sunk in the Red Sea, Yemen's internationally recognised government said on Saturday, warning of a "environmental catastrophe" from the ship's cargo of fertilizer.
If confirmed, it would be the first vessel lost since the Houthis began targeting commercial shipping in November, forcing shipping firms to divert vessels on to the longer, more expensive route around southern Africa.

Hey guys they hit the Eisenhower

GPB6mjHWgAAcXcx?format=jpg&name=900x900

 

Do not try to lie to people, as this happened even twice in the same day

Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and in retaliation to the crimes of the Zionist enemy against the displaced in Rafah area, in the Gaza Strip, and as part of expanding military operations in the fourth stage of escalation, and in response to the American-British aggression against our country.

The naval, missile, and air forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out six military operations as follows: 

The first operation targeted the American aircraft carrier, the Eisenhower, north of the Red Sea, with a number of missiles and drones, which is the second targeting operation against the carrier during the past 24 hours. 

The second operation targeted an American destroyer in the Red Sea by a number of drones, and have achieved direct hit. 

While the other four operations targeted ships that belong to companies that violated the decision to ban entry into the ports of occupied Palestine, including the MAINA ship that has been targeted twice in the Red Sea and in the Arabian Sea as well.

The third operation targeted the ship ALORAIQ in the Indian Ocean

The Fourth operation targeted the ABLIANI ship in the Red Sea. The operations have successfully achieved their objectives,  and the strikes were accurate and direct.

The Yemeni Armed Forces continue to carry out their military operations in support and solidirty with the oppressed Palestinian people, and to confront the American-British aggression against our country, which comes in support to the Israeli-Zionist enemy to continue the crimes and aggression against the Palastanian people in the Gaza Strip, and operations will continue until the aggression stops and siege is on Gaza lifted.

This is such a weird, esoteric question, but there's a lot of law talkers on here and this seemed like the best thread.

Is there some sort of maritime / admiralty law still outstanding that contemplates letters of marque? That is, could some outcast country like Russia or Iran issue a letter of marque to a Houthi or Somali leader? Would it still technically (but not actually, ayatollah bro, c'mon) need to be be recognized in some quarters?

Seems like the type of thing Russia would do, given their love of technically complying with the law while doing dastardly things.

Well, it seems like we aren’t fucking around.

U.S. B-2 bombers and other aircraft struck five underground Houthi weapons storage locations in parts of Yemen that the Iranian-backed rebel group controls, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday.

The facilities, which officials said were hardened, housed "various weapons components of types that the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region," Austin said.

Not sure why we hadta use a stealth bomber though.  Our B 52's are depreciated out.  Basically free to run.

I suspect part of that was sending a message to Iran. "We'll blow your shit up before you even know we're there"

Did you mean for the internment camps for non-MAGA supporters, oh wait the actual military could be running those 

Military for non-maga, erik prince for the real dangerous ones. Those that have unneeded skill sets like making tamales, putting on roofs, etc.
