In a suicidal bid to aid their collapsing Iranian masters, Yemen’s Houthi terrorists directly challenged the mighty USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in the Red Sea on March 10. Launching a mᴀssive swarm of over 50 drones, anti-ship ballistic missiles, and suicide boats, the Iran-backed militants screamed “death to America” — only to meet the full, brutal wrath of U.S. naval power.

The response was annihilation. The Lincoln’s escorts — Arleigh Burke destroyers and Ticonderoga cruisers — unleashed a symphony of destruction. SM-6 missiles vaporized incoming ballistics at 100+ miles. F/A-18 Super Hornets shredded drone waves with Sidewinders and JDAMs. Phalanx Gatling guns (4,500 rpm) turned boat swarms into chum. In under 12 minutes, every Houthi threat was obliterated. Satellite imagery shows Houthi coastal launch sites reduced to craters by Tomahawk counterstrikes.

Pentagon confirms zero U.S. damage, 100% intercept rate. “They poked the bear. We skinned it,” a spokesman quipped.

This follows the Hormuz crisis where France’s FS Alsace repelled IRGC harᴀssment, and Iran’s ballistic fury on Israel — 165 waves hammering Tel Aviv, killing 12, injuring 1,900. Yet U.S./Israel forces erased 80% of Iran’s air defenses, sank 43 vessels. Russia’s Pyotr Velikiy sunk in 37s, Sevastopol wiped by Ukraine, 23 ghost ships seized by UK.

President Trump: “Houthis for Iran? Big mistake. Our Navy owns these waters.” Allies like Macron reinforce: Europe stands firm.

Iran’s proxies bleed as Tehran crumbles — no Khamenei, no air force, no navy. Oil at $125/bbl, but victory nears. For oppressed Iranians, Houthi folly accelerates regime doom. The free world’s resolve is ironclad. Tehran’s terror network fractures. Operation Epic Fury rolls on — brutal, precise, victorious.
