Iran and Russia are slamming airstrikes carried out early Friday by the U.S. and Britain against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, calling them "irresponsible" and warning that they "will only contribute to insecurity and instability in the region."

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kannani said in a statement to Reuters that "These attacks are a clear violation of Yemen's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a breach of international laws.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also said "We strongly condemn these irresponsible actions by the United States and its allies" and called for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Friday to discuss the matter, according to Reuters.

Mere posturing.
The Russians weren't noted for their "proportionate" responses to Somali pirates. They simply killed them.
The Houthis and their Iranian masters deserve the same response.

I predict that Iran sets off a nuke in the next few weeks. Probably on a ship in the southern Indian Ocean.
I am sure they are trading their drones for the technical help to do that.

Doubtful. They’ll get totally annihilated. I don’t think it would take much for Israel to nuke Iran at this point. It’s become existential.

Those who are not controlled from within will inevitably need to be controlled with without (but when the latter is not controlled by Godly informed conscience, but by corrupted and or perverse morals, then they will persecute the Godly).

If Iran is going to drop ANY nukes anywhere, it will be by their sleeper cells (invited into the USA by Puppet Biden) on Washington DC.
Thousands of these agents are already in America just waiting for the signal (thanks to the filthy scumbag Jarret/Obama). /spit

The region is already instable. Hard to imagine what will make it worse?

Diego Garcia. How hard would that be? Probably unapproachable if it’s a no-fly zone-military only. Still Pearl Harbor and Oct. 6 happened. Being asleep at the switch will always be with us as eternal vigilance gets tiresome.
