<p>Houthi Islamic terrorists attacked an oil tanker on Monday evening that was traveling in-between the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.</p>
<p>&#8220;At around 4 p.m. EST on December 11, the Motor Tanker STRINDA was attacked by what is assessed to have been an Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) launched from a Houthi controlled area of Yemen while passing through the Bab-el-Mandeb,&#8221; U.S. Central Command said in a statement. &#8220;The STRINDA reported damage causing a fire on-board, but no casualties at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There were no US ships in the vicinity at the time of the attack, but the USS MASON responded to the M/T STRINDA&#8217;s mayday call and is currently rendering assistance,&#8221; the statement added.</p>
<p>Private intelligence firms confirmed the attack happened before the U.S. military published its statement.</p>
<p>The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations posted an alert on Monday evening warning that a vessel had been attacked and that there were flames on board the ship.</p>

<p>President Joe Biden has come under mounting pressure for not being able to muster the courage to respond to the attacks from the Houthi terrorists and other Iranian-backed Islamic terror groups in the region that have been repeatedly attacking U.S. forces in the region since October 17.</p>
<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/netanyahu-tells-biden-israel-will-act-militarily-against-yemens-houthis-us-wont" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> told Biden that if the U.S. does not take action against the Yemen-based Houthi terrorists, Israel will, which comes after the terrorist group has repeatedly targeted shipping vessels with ties to Israel.</p>
<p>Numerous U.S. defense officials <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/04/biden-response-red-sea-attacks-00130018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> POLITICO that Biden’s approach to dealing with the situation was problematic because by trying to avoid escalation, the opposite is happening.</p>
<p>“Near to immediate term, where are the strikes on [Houthi] targets?” said Marc Polymeropoulos, former CIA official, on social media. “Need to see this ASAP.”</p>
<p>Retired Vice Adm. John Miller, the former commander of U.S. 5th Fleet, told POLITICO that the U.S. was “not taking this seriously” because these attacks “have gone largely unanswered.”</p>
<p>“We’re not deterring anybody right now,” Miller said.</p>
