Tehran backed the murderous Hamas at ack on Israel.


It can produce six nuclear warheads


in just one month. Its leaders vow to destroy the U.S. and Israel.


Are we on the verge of war with Iran?


he captain of the uss carney, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer


based in Jacksonville, Florida, knew he was sailing into a danger zone when he steamed through the Suez Canal in Egypt on Wednesday, Oct. 18.


But danger came much sooner than he ex-


pected. Not long after the Carney passed the Sinai


Peninsula and the Gulf of Aqaba to enter the Red Sea, the fi rst alert sounded. In what turned into a nine-hour battle the next day, Iranian-backed Houthi fi ghters in Yemen launched four cruise missiles and 15 drones against the Carney. Luckily, Commander Jeremy Robertson and his sailors shot them down. The Pentagon has said that the attacks were


aimed at Israel, and that the Carney just inter- cepted the cruise missiles and drones en route. But many observers believe the Oct. 19 inci-


dent was yet another direct attack by Iranian- controlled militias against the United States. Dr. Stephen Bryen, deputy undersecretary


of defense under President Ronald Reagan, is convinced the Iranians ordered the Houthis to launch the attack. “They wanted to sink the Carney to discredit the United States,” he told Newsmax. The tactic, which the Iranians have used suc-

cessfully against Patriot missile batteries in Sau- di Arabia, is to use the drones as a fi rst wave to disable the radar, then to destroy the main target — in this case, the Carney — with large missile warheads, Bryen said. It’s not the fi rst time that Iran-backed militias


have attacked U.S. forces in the region. Already in March, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.,


revealed that Iranian-backed militias had at- tacked U.S. military forces in the Middle East 83 times since Joe Biden entered the White House, while the U.S. responded only four times. In the fi ve days following the attack on the


Carney, Iranian-backed militias attacked U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria on 13 separate occasions, wounding more than two dozen U.S. service personnel, with no U.S. response. A Hezbollah-affi liated academic in Lebanon,


Sadek al-Naboulsi, told a Lebanese TV station that Hezbollah drones were capable of reaching the USS Gerald R. Ford and its carrier task force in the Mediterranean. “We should wage this war. Our nation should


wage this war with all its power,” he said, calling on other Arab states to join Iran’s war against the U.S. Are Israel and the United States headed to-


ward war with the Islamic regime in Iran? That’s the question everyone today is asking.
