Arr, Iran be cheerin' the Houthi scallywags for attackin' Yankee weapons an' Israel be cheerin' too, matey!

Arrr, mateys! The Yanks and the Brits be pleadin' with Iran to cease their aid to them Houthis, for their Red Sea antics be makin' our ships sail through long, costly detours. Avast! Put an end to this madness, ye scurvy dogs!
In a 17th century pirate's language, the Iranian officials be praisin' the Yemen's Houthis for their response to the Israel-Hamas war. Arrr! They be ignorin' the calls from the Americans and the British to cut support for these scallywags, while they be considerin' a warning. The Iranian Foreign Minister met with a senior Houthi official in Tehran and spoke highly of their support for the oppressed Palestinian people. These Houthis be showin' gratitude for the support from the network of regional terrorists and militant groups supported by Tehran, which includes Hamas and Hezbollah.These Houthis be attackin' commercial ships in the Red Sea, and the U.S. Navy be warnin' that they don't be seein' any signs of them stoppin' anytime soon. They be claimin' that these attacks be aimed at Israel-linked ships to counter their military operations against Hamas. The U.S. Navy be shootin' down missiles fired at a container ship and sunk three of the Houthi vessels.
The American and British officials be callin' on Iran to cut support for these attacks, but the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council be refusin' and praisin' the militants for their brave actions against Zionist aggression. Instead, Iran be sendin' a warship to the Red Sea, but they be keepin' the details of its mission a secret. Many shipping companies be reroutin' their vessels to avoid the violence, even if it be costin' them more.
The Biden administration be removin' the terrorist designation from the Houthis, arguin' that it be affectin' aid to Yemen. Some Republicans be pushin' for a redesignation. The U.S. formed Operation Prosperity Guardian to protect commercial ships in the region, with five warships patrollin' the waters. The U.S. and U.K. be considerin' issuin' a formal warning to the Houthis, but the leader of the group be threatenin' to target American warships in response. Arrr, it be a tumultuous situation in the Middle East!
