So threatening an Iranian ship isn't going to solve this problem for us - regardless of whether that threat came from Biden or Trump, the Iranians are just not going to credit it as an actual threat.

Okay, fine. Then start IDing the means the Iranians are using to transport missiles to the Houthis and interdict those. Declare a law enforcement activity where the US is going to deter illegal weapons shipments. Any ships found to be carrying arms to the Houthis will be boarded and searched and if weapons are found, impounded.

Or we could continue to paint targets on our ships and invite the Houthis to keep shooting. You do realize that every missed shot from them is a chance for the Iranians to polish their ship-killing tactics, right?
