Trump doesn't have the stomach for a fight.

"Check your favourite outlet."

Okay:

"Take a moment to savor President Trump’s shocking announcement that the Houthis waved the white flag and the US agreed to stop its devastating bombing campaign of the Yemeni terrorists.

“They just don’t want to fight,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “We will stop the bombings and they have capitulated. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore.”

He suggested there was an informal promise the Houthis would not target American ships in the Red Sea, adding, “We will take their word.”

Chalk one up for peace through strength and the crushing impact of American weaponry.

And note the unmistakable message to Iran: We mean business and you’re next unless you drop the nuke program.

Tick tock, tick tock.

That the cease-fire happens just before Trump is scheduled to visit the region next week, starting in Saudi Arabia, boosts his leadership credibility among both allies and foes.

Once again, America is the strong horse."

If the "war" against the Houthis was a message to Iran, that message was "there ain't a hell of a lot that we can do to you."

Carriers would not be much use against Iran because Iran has a hell of a lot more anti-ship capability that the Houthis do, so the Persian Gulf would be a no go zone for our carriers, and operating from outside the gulf would put most targets outside the range of our carrier aircraft.

We would need permission from one or more of the gulf states to operate from airbases on their soil, otherwise it would just be a long range bombing operation, and we don't have that many bombers.

The gulf of oman is also no-go. So Indian Ocean it is! The Med is closer to many targets.
