You guys do realize that Iranian-backed terrorists have been firing live war shots at our destroyers and other ships for months, right? How many times are we going to allow that?

We're not. We've been attacking the terrorists directly - we've been firing live war shots at the Houthis in Yemen for months also. Again, the issue isn't whether there will be proxy fighting. The issue is whether the US is willing to change the fighting from a proxy conflict to a direct one.

The time has long past to first level the launchers and eliminate the Houthis who are doing the rocket firing.

Yep, we've been doing that. Us and the British. For example:

Who threatened to sink anything?

That was the post I was responding to - BHM asked what would happen if a President Trump told Iran that they had to move the Behshad or they would lose it. I told him that they would ignore that threat to sink it. They would certainly ignore a "signal" or "message" that was even less direct than a threat. We're willing to attack the Houthis in Yemen. We might even assassinate an Iranian military commander as a direct military target. But we're not going to sink an Iranian ship in international waters.
