The UN Convention on Genocide lays out that, in the presence of genocide, punishment is appropriate. The Houthis see their action as consistent with this. Mike Whitney quoted the Yemeni Navy: “The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterates its dedication to conducting operations in strict adherence to international legal principles aimed at preventing genocide and punishing those responsible for it. Additionally, it underscores its commitment to facilitating unimpeded traffic flow and upholding maritime security in the Red Sea and the broader region.” They have said that they will stop their selective disruption of shipping when the genocide stops. Otherwise, they are acting legally and appropriately.

Seems to me it will be hard for the Biden and neocon warmongers to square the circle after freeing up more money to Iran to sponsor more terror activities and now wanting to go after Iran for continuing to do what they've been doing all along: supporting terrorists. Then there is the Valerie Jarrett contingent of the Obama cabal (pallets of cash) whose mission is to appease Iran. Oh, and all the Muslims in Dearborn and around the country already po'd with Biden's support for Israel, no matter how tepid it has become.

And all of this happening in an election year with so many other fires burning: the border disaster, inflation, Bidenomics, sanctuary cities imploding, etc. Poor old Branden won't be able to keep up with all of this with his remaining 64K memory bank.
