AFAIK a lot are there to protect trading ship routes that have been attacked by rebels or so.
Some were probably helping with the makeshift port they wanted to use to supply trapped starving Palestinians.
Dunno who authorized it, but it’s also not important, because those ships are cruising around in international waters anyway. They minimize the time docked in ports for strategic reasons. They also get authorization from that nation when entering territorial waters, except if they are in a hostile situation with that nation, of course.

A failed mission so far, and could have been avoided if they stopped the genocide in Gaza. The Yemeni military said so multiple times they will stop if the genocide stops.

Another failed mission and unnecessary. The US could have demanded Israel open up its ports and border crossings for aid. The US could have conditioned the bombs it sends to facilitate the genocide on allowing aid in.

All I see is legitimate non-grata targets, I won’t act on it, but others in the region might.
Legitimate targets for anyone with honor and dignity. People normally don’t like foreign soldiers strutting around their land or water. I know you wouldn’t tolerate Chinese or Russian navies doing the same. Don’t expect us to accept what you wouldn’t.
No, because driving a ship somewhere to protect a trading route or build a port is not an invasion. The ships will go away, once the mission is over, but russia wants to stay forever in Ukraine and make it part of russia.
My question was for what actions? Do you seriously think you can sink a US warship? At least pretend to be credible when making inane threats.
That said, the last foreign army occupying my homeland was Russian, depending on whether you consider foreign Chinese policemen on your streets a foreign army.
If someone there managed to sink a US warship, the US will invade and destroy everything in the area in response. That is an escalation no one wants. They’re attacking civilian shipping because they can’t fight back effectively.
The US destroyed Afghanistan in retaliation for 9/11 and they didn’t even have anything to do with it.

Legitimate targets for what? Who wants to fight the US Navy?
Who! not what, we are people too.

Lots do. Even if the means are limited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing
I think they meant “what” would attacking them accomplish. It just starts a useless fight with nothing to gain.
There is a lot to be gained even if each and every projectile is shot down. It is a war of attrition.

I don’t see how that helps anyone. They both lose; just at different rates.
Would you say the same for Ukrainians fighting Russian forces on their land?
No, because driving a ship somewhere to protect a trading route or build a port is not an invasion. The ships will go away, once the mission is over, but russia wants to stay forever in Ukraine and make it part of russia.

I can’t but someone in the region might be able to.
then you should be able to relate instead of ridicule

The Afghans won and the US left humiliated in the end. Not a bad outcome.
Notice the USS Cole is still there. I guarantee they’re still pissed about that. Not the ship you want to target again. They’re likely to overreact.
We are betting on their overreaction. The US was defeated in Afghanistan and it can be defeated again.
