Hegseth condems deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist

Hegseth DESTROYS Fake News Hack Over Trump War Lies!

"In a powerful rebuttal to allegations published by The Atlantic, known for its far-left bias, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth refuted claims that he and other Trump administration officials inadvertently disclosed classified military strategies in a group chat.

These outrageous allegations come from Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief notorious for fabricating tales against Trump....such as the "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax.

Hegseth addressed claims that leaders such as National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance were part of a supposed “Houthi PC small group” sharing sensitive details about military strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

Goldberg claims to have been “accidentally” added to this secure Signal group chat, igniting immediate backlash for his unfounded assertions."

As more comes out about it, it seems the allegation is true and Jeffrey Goldberg reported he somehow had been added to a group chat called “Houthi PC small group” on March 13 via Signal, an encrypted messaging service widely believed to be more secure than other commercial texting applications. At least he did not report this mistake prior to the attacks in Yemen.

Trump Warns Iran

In Fight Against Houthis, Trump Threatens The Source, Iran

Trump takes off the gloves and removes handcuffs from the military

The US has struck more than 30 targets in Yemen since Saturday, part of Trump’s air campaign targeting Iran-backed Houthi terrorists that have halted international shipping for more than a year.

Trump warns Iran it will face ‘consequences’ of further attacks from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, explicitly linking the actions of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to the group’s main benefactor.

“Iran has played ‘the innocent victim’ of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control,” Trump alleged in his post. “They’re dictating every move, giving them the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated Military equipment, and even, so-called, ‘Intelligence.’”

And in a marked departure from the previous administration’s micromanagement, Trump has given Central Command the authority to launch offensive strikes against the Houthis whenever it deems it appropriate.

Trump orders Airstrikes on Yemen

Trump orders strikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels, issues fresh threats to backer Iran

Attacks come after Houthis vowed to restart targeting Israeli vessels in Red Sea

President Donald Trump said he ordered a series of airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Saturday, promising to use "overwhelming lethal force" until Iranian-backed Houthi rebels cease their attacks on shipping along a vital maritime corridor.

"Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists' bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom," Trump said in a social media post. "No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World."

He also warned Iran to stop supporting the rebel group, promising to hold the country "fully accountable" for the actions of its proxy.

US Strikes Iran-Backed Houthis In Yemen, Adds Forces To Region

ANALYSIS – Are we getting closer to war with Iran? Even as Biden-Harris claim to want to avoid a wider war in the region, and Israel and Iran launch major strikes against each other, the U.S. military on Friday struck over a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen using both aircraft and warships.

While some local media sources claimed the UK participated in the strikes, a British government source said the UK was not involved. Strikes also reportedly targeted the south of Dhamar city and the southeast of al-Bayda province.

Since last November, the Houthis have targeted over 100 ships, sunk two and hijacked another. The group says it is launching the attacks to protest Israel’s war in Gaza, but U.S. officials say many of the ships targeted have no connection to Israel’s war.

Never underestimate the enemy. Especially one backed directly by Iran

Admiral Downplayed Threat, But Houthis Severed Undersea Cables

By Paul Crespo, February 27, 2024

"ANALYSIS – I was surprised when in mid-February the commander of the Office of U.S. Naval Intelligence (ONI), Rear Adm. Michael Brookes, publicly downplayed the threat that Iranian-sponsored Houthi rebels in Yemen might slice a web of undersea communications cables in the region, saying it was unrealistic.

This, after the Iran-backed terror group, and its ally, Hezbollah, had posted veiled threats to do so on social media in December, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.

The threatening posts featured maps of the Red Sea area, including the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, where fiber-optic cables run, jeopardizing communications and financial data between Europe and Asia.

And now, these terrorists have done just that. This, despite, or maybe enabled by, Joe Biden's limp-wristed military response to their constant attacks in the region."

Iran backed Houthi Rebels not afraid of Biden

US Navy Sinks Three Houthi Rebel Boats In Red Sea Killing All Aboard

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported Sunday morning that four Iran-backed Houthi rebel boats had attacked the Maersk Hangzhou container ship in the Red Sea, firing small arms and crew-served weapons at a distance of 20 meters from the vessel and attempting to board it.

A contract-embarked security team aboard the container ship returned fire in self-defense.

This prompted a distress call to be sent out for aid from the U.S Navy, which responded by dispatching helicopters to sink three of the boats and eliminate their crews.

From the U.S. Central Command:

On Dec. 31 at 6:30am (Sanaa time) the container ship MAERSK HANGZHOU issued a second distress call in less than 24 hours reporting being under attack by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats. The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew served and small arms weapons at the MAERSK HANGZHOU, getting to within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel. A contract embarked security team on the MAERSK HANZGHOU returned fire. U.S. helicopters from the USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69) and GRAVELY (DDG 107) responded to the distress call and in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew served weapons and small arms. The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense, sinking three of the four small boats, and killing the crews. The fourth boat fled the area. There was no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment.

In spite of these acts of terror perpetrated by Houthi militants, Biden administration has yet to launch an attack against any Houthi base in over three months; a passiveness that has only emboldened our adversaries and put our allies at risk.

Yemen Terrorists highjack cargo ship in RedSea

Terrorists Hi-Jack Cargo Ship

In a recent alarming incident, Yemen’s Houthi terrorists captured a massive 620-foot cargo ship in the Red Sea, with shocking footage of the event released on Monday. The video features Houthi fighters jumping from a helicopter onto the ship and taking all 25 crew members hostage.

The owner of the ship, Galaxy Leader, confirmed that their vessel was “illegally boarded by military personnel via a helicopter”. After the hostile takeover, all communications with the vessel were lost. While the company refrained from commenting on the political or geopolitical situation, it expressed deep concern for the safety and security of its crew members.

The Jerusalem Post reported that the Bahamas-flagged Galaxy Leader cargo ship is leased to a Japanese company by a British company, partially owned by an Israeli businessman. Despite none of the crew members being Israeli citizens, Israel strongly condemned the Iranian attack against the international vessel.

"The company, as a shipping concern, will not be commenting further on the political or geopolitical situation."
