BE ADVISED: As tensions mount in the Red Sea, two USAF B-2 Stealth Bombers left the United States and landed today at RAF Fairford in the UK. It's noted that the callsign used by these aircraft was "Death 31 and Death 32". pic.twitter.com/WvAZyGPIgt

The U.S. is actively weighing options to strike Houthi targets in Yemen in response to its continuous attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group was moved to the Gulf of Aden to increase strike options per U.S. officials to POLITICO.
Strike options have been presented to commanders, but there is no word yet on timelines or approvals.

Having so soon vacated the placid environs of the Persian Gulf, the USS Eisenhower carrier strike group is apparently racing back towards the Red Sea.
Ansarullah in Yemen has effectively blockaded both Eilat and the Suez Canal.
It’s understandable the US is very desirous to “do something about it”.
But what?
And at what risk?
The Houthis clearly should not be underestimated. They have achieved successes far beyond what were believed to be their limitations.
Suppose they’re sitting on a few dozen relatively capable anti-ship missiles delivered from either Hezbollah or Iran?
And suppose they are able to launch a salvo of such missiles against a US warship (or two) in the narrow confines of the Red Sea.
And suppose one or two penetrate US defenses and successfully strike a US warship.
Well … such an event could very possibly set in motion a series of very dangerous escalations aimed at Iran.
The Pentagon is facing serious threats all around the world, and doesn’t appear to have enough fingers to plug the growing number of holes in the leaky dike of the “rules-based international order”.
These are perilous times …
