for imminent self-defense. if one of our ships or even if a navy vessel was being attacked, but he can t take retaliatory actions for future direction without coming to congress. and i other thing i would say is have they talked to our gulf allies. i just talked today the saudi ambassador this morning. she ll tell you the saudi bombing campaign of the houthis was not successful and that the biggest thing we need to do to de-escalate and opening the shipping lines in the red sea is to have an end to the conflict in gaza, and that s what you would hearm uae as well. so i m not sure they re consulting with the gulf allies. and today we see shipping is more restricted in the red sea. the price of oil is going up. so i don t see what we re achieving. they did have one middle eastern country bahrain, home of the fifth fleet. when you say they should have instead of spending that time over the past month talking to

target attacks against boat asks that killed a bunch of houthis, that didn t work. then there were some economic sanctions against countries that were helping to facilitate the financing that houthis were getting. then a multilateral alliance with the united states and others in the country, only one in the region, bahrain. and fifth fleet is important to point out. i understand. the americans are sort of not just they re not just kidding around in this region. and at every single step, deterrence has failed. there s no reason to believe right. despite the fact that this is a significant escalation that the houthis are going to put down their toys because the iranians are going to continue to provide the toys. i think this is a very dangerous situation and the likelihood that the war is going to escalate beyond the territory of gaza and beyond israel versus hamas is virtually certain. it s hard to see this as squirmishing. allies we haven t heard from,

much closer are those principle adversaries going to be. iranians don t want a direct fight against the americans, and yet if their proxies start getting blown up in large numbers, and this also includes hezbollah in the northern front and israel, the likelihood that the iranians get directly involved goes way up. to phil s point about allies in the region, saudi arabia putting out the statement in response that they re urging restraint as we look at this here behind the scenes, what is, give us a sense of what is the level of conversation and even in some cases, coordination on these moves with those other folks in the region who we re not hearing from as much publicly. the americans have certainly told gulf allies that these attacks were coming as the military plans were being put into place over the last several days. no question in my mind about that. and no one in the region would have expected the americans to sit on their hands given this. the fact it is not just the u.s.

then we re talking about 150 or 200 and a global recession. then biden is going to lose. that s what s at stake, and we are on a path of military escalation against iranian proxies, and they are providing the weapons. they are very happy with the fact that these attacks are actually occurring. that s the broader context. yeah, as long as the houthis continue to engage in strikes against civilian tanker traffic, and they have been doing it for weeks and weeks now, the americans and allies are going to respond. is this in any way a deterrent? what we saw overnight, right, the hope is that in some way this is a deterrent. the language wasn t working so this will. the hope has been for weeks that the u.s. will be able to deter further escalation. at every step it failed. it started with nuisance strikes in response to what were seen as nuisance attacks, that s what the white house was privately saying. now we have more significant
