Default Tensions in the Middle East

Thought this deserved its own thread apart from the Hamas-Israel thread.

Iran-backed Houthis attacked a US warship, and I think this is the first time they’ve directly attempted to attack a warship.

Quote:
Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile Friday at a U.S. warship patrolling the Gulf of Aden, forcing it to shoot down the projectile, and struck a British vessel as their aggressive attacks on maritime traffic continue.

The attack on the U.S. warship, the destroyer USS Carney, marked a further escalation in the biggest confrontation at sea the U.S. Navy has seen in the Middle East in decades, as Houthi missile fire set another commercial vessel ablaze Friday night.

What is the US’ red line?
