There is a floating intelligence and targeting platform - the Behshad - manned by a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) called the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directing Houthi attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea. CENTCOM wants to take out this platform directing and coordinating these attacks, but the Pentagon and the White House won’t let that happen - they falsely believe that doing so would broaden the scope of the war. Those making the argument that any actions that make Tehran feel pain “will lead to war with Iran” don’t understand that THIS IS WHAT WAR WITH IRAN LOOKS LIKE - and we are letting them win. The Playbook: Iran turns up the heat through its proxies in order to get the West to make concessions that economically and militarily benefit Tehran. Iran knows better than any country that there is no better team at making concessions and ceding leverage than this WH. They know it so well because Biden's team is Obama's JCPOA/Iraq/Syria team.
