Biden’s Humiliation: Pentagon Confirms Iran-Backed Houthi’s Shot Down US Reaper Drone Near Yemen – Kristinn Taylor

Iran-backed Houthi’s in Yemen shot down a U.S. Reaper drone near Yemen on Wednesday. A statement by the Houthis was released Wednesday morning D.C. time with alleged video of the shootdown posted in the afternoon D.C. time. Soon after the video was posted a Pentagon spokesman confirmed to reporters that a drone had been shot down over international waters off Yemen. The attack comes after Iranian proxies have attacked U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria dozens of times since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. The Biden administration has so far responded with just a pin prick strike on two IRGC weapons depots in Syria.

The Houthi’s declared war on Israel last week. Two weeks ago the U.S. Navy shot down several missiles and drones fired by Houthis targeting Israel. Last week Israel shot down a Houthi ballistic missile in space that was headed toward Israel.

Pentagon statement released to reporters, “We can confirm that a U.S. military MQ-9 remotely-piloted aircraft was shot down while in international airspace over international waters off the coast of Yemen. U.S. Central Command officials are assessing the incident.”

Also on Wednesday, U.S. Central Command posted a photo of a B-1 Lancer on patrol in CENTCOM’s Middle East theater of operations, “On November 8, 2023, and for the second time in three days, a U.S. B-1 Lancer conducted a mission over the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. U.S. F-16s escorted the bomber.”

 

Last week CENTCOM posted a photo of a nuclear submarine entering it’s Middle East theater:

Apparently, no one in the Middle East takes Joe Biden seriously when he says, “Don’t,” in an effort to deter attacks on the U.S. by Iran and it’s proxies.
